Lady of Perpetual Help The
icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is one of the most famous Marian

amazing: Conwell-Egan claims Catholic League softball title for the
24th time Conwell-Egan
recently captured its 250th Catholic League softball championship.
Okay. That’s a slight exaggeration. But you get the point.
Profile: Shaping
others, with God’s love, for a half-century Patricia
Freeman has been changing the lives of children since she, herself,
was just a teenager.
Music
and books to catechize the young Summer
is here, and it is a good time to prepare lesson plans. You may

with dreams of a better life — sometimes a desperate
bid for any kind of life — came from Los Angeles
to New York and many points between, to Philadelphia
on June 18.
