CHURCH’s Corner

"St. Helena Church in Riverside Ohio and serves the communities of Dayton Riverside Beavercreek Fairborn and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. We are a family of some 1 500 households and organize a school with a recruitment of about 400 students. The mission of St. Helena Parish a Catholic community with Christ to people and people to Christ through the Word worship and service people of every race language and lifestyle. Our vision is to fire the presence of Christ in our lives so deeply that we all know that delegates thankful and responsible are becoming increasingly difficult for God's blessing.Our community is unique - with special treats. This is something we cherish. However we are part of a much larger community in the Archdiocese and the universal Church. Since the Archdiocese plans for the future we are also in the context of the wider community. One bread one body association The Tri-Parish of St. Helena Ascension and Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception are now one bread one body of association! Together we share our faith through friendship and rotating masses and a national holiday Advent / conciliation services of Lent pulpit exchanges training of ministers and other liturgical ministries and social events. Father Joseph Satish wrote one bread one body of Prayer for Partnership and together with an art teacher at the Immaculate Conception has created an association logo. As in previous years the Board took input from community members to plan our future. The process has led to a renewed commitment to our liturgy education of our children and our life as community management grateful for the blessing of God. The plan is already underway and is willing to prosecute those departments will be invited to his heart."
