Thank you for stopping by our website!!!

Welcome to the website of Our Lady of Perpetual Help church! We are a small church based in New Iberia, Louisiana. Our main goal is to spread our faith and profess our love for our religion, and our God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. We are led by our wonderful pastor, Father Garrett Savoie. He, in turn, is assisted by our wonderful deacon, Deacon Durk Viator.

Our wonderful church has been serving this community for over 70 years. Through many priests, changes, additions, and the ever-changing society, we have stood strong and willing to serve the community. And it is through this, we have remained one of the oldest operating and thriving churches in New Iberia. And we thank you, for it is through your support that we can stay Our Lady of Perpetual Help church.

History:

Our church was founded on October 1st, 1949. Our church then became the second church parish in the city of New Iberia. Our church began as a discussion in November of 1947, leading to actual construction which began in June of 1949. The project was spearheaded by Msgr. Wayne Richard. Who, in turn, became the first pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, and celebrated the first mass at the new church on Christmas Day of 1949.

Patron Saint:

The patron saint of our church is the one and only Blessed Virgin Mary. The Holy Mother is the guiding image of commitments to one's faith and letting God be the leading light of our lives. She willingly accepted the burden of being the mother of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was through this act, that we can model our lives in reference to her. We can use her devotion, to create devotion in ourselves and be the model of a life that has been given in to the hands of God and allowing him to guide us to eternal life with Him and his Son.
