Mission 

Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a parish of the Diocese of Norwich in the Roman Catholic Church and is committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Son of Mary, our patroness. Originally established to serve the Polish Immigrants of the greater New London area, Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish seeks to preserve its cultural heritage through polish customs and practices in accord with Catholic life and often within the context of the liturgical year. At the same time, this parish welcomes all friends and neighbors who seek to know and practice their Faith as members of the Roman Catholic Church in a historic, loving, and growing Catholic community.

This is carried out through:

* Quality liturgies of the Roman Catholic Church
* Religious Education Programs
* The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
* Care of the Sick
* Parish Societies
* Outreach programs to the needy
* A Crusade of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life
* Disciples in Mission scriptural program
