November is the month the Church dedicates to the Holy Souls in Purgatory — a time to pray for those who have gone before us, that they may see the face of God.

Parish Boundaries?
Every Church in a diocese has boundaries. Registered or not, Catholic or not, every soul in St. Helen's boundaries is the responsibility of our Pastor, Fr. John. That's a lot of souls!

Our parish boundaries are West-East from 67th Ave to 43rd Ave and North-South between Sweetwater Ave and Olive Ave.

And, if you're registered but do not live within our boundaries, you and your family also become Fr. John's responsibility for as long as you're active in the parish.
Phoenix Parish Boundaries
‘Active in the Parish’ definition
It means you're attending Masses and are an active member of our community. This applies to everyone registered, whether you are or are not living within the parish boundaries. With so many families, you can imagine how difficult that is to manage.

Primarily parishioners' activity is through the collection basket (in-person or digitally through online giving). Another way to monitor activity is through participation in parish ministries.
Tithe: Financial Giving
Tithing (financially supporting) to our parish is very important, in order, for us to thrive, but you can give without putting your name on it.
Our offertory envelopes have two purposes: one is to be able to provide you with a tax document for charitable giving every year and the second is for parishioner attendance at Mass.

Whether you're tithing or not, you can drop your empty offertory envelope in the basket. Or even just a paper with your name and address on it. This shows your participation.

This isn't a tactic. We are responsible for giving you encounters to see, know, love, and serve our God. Tithing is not a tax. We will never send a letter or call you demanding you give more or saying you didn't give enough.

How much you tithe is between you and the Lord. Charity can never be forced; or it ceases to be charity.
Godparent | Confirmation Sponsor Eligibility
For example, if your niece from Indiana asks you to be her sponsor for Confirmation, and she needs a letter stating you are in good standing at your parish - having received all of your sacraments of initiation and being an active member. So, tithing and your parish activity is actually the only way a parish can vouch for you.
Keep Us Updated
Make sure you're registered here at St. Helen.

Make sure the information we have is correct. You can update us by dropping a notecard with your name and address in the basket at Mass or contacting the office.

If you are going to move or switch parishes, please let the office know.
