Dawn Patterson: My father passed away on May 16th, 2025. I went to the church to secure two places, one for my dad and one for later for my mom. I had the pleasure of dealing with Joel Duam, who helped me through the whole process. He was well a God send to me, seeing as I was the one planning the service for my dad. I also had help from Clare OMalley, who helped me with picking the songs and the readings for the service. Father Joe did my dads funeral service on May 22nd, and he was compassionate and made the service so beautiful. I just want to thank Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church for everything, including the wonderful reception afterward. You made one of the worst days into something bearable, and I am forever grateful for all of you.
