Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Our Lady of Perpetual Help represents the Mother of
God holding the Divine Child while the Archangels
Michael and Gabriel present before Him the
instruments of His Passion. Over the figures on the
golden rays are some Greek letters, which form the
abbreviated words Mother of God, Jesus Christ,
Archangel Michael, and Archangel Gabriel
respectively.
The original icon is displayed in Redemptorist Chapel
in Rome at the Alphonsianum where our own Father
Eric studied for one year.
This statue was a gift from the Irish Travelers who frequented
St. Patrick Church. See more about the Irish Travelers in the
Parish History.
