OLPHSEDC PARISH

The Church on the Hill.

Rich, Black cultural history. Piece of Anacostia. Community. Uniquely Catholic. Conveyer of Good News. Great city view.
 This is home!

Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a Roman Catholic Community serving the Black Catholics of Washington DC for over 100 years! This rich cultural legacy is celebrated every summer at our annual Field Day Mass celebration! The uniqueness of Our Lady of Perpetual Help places it in a leadership position, allowing interaction with other Black and non-Black parishes! Utilizing the gifts of Blacks' spirituality through music, dance, education, and spiritual special action, our call to ministry is proclaiming the Good News to our Brothers and Sisters who do not know Christ! We continue serving, have faith in the present, and march toward our future as an experienced community!
