Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, located in Rivertown in Kenner, Louisiana since 1869, is dedicated to proclaiming and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the truths of the Roman Catholic Church.  The parish offers numerous opportunities for prayer and faith development.  Sunday and daily Masses are offered, along with special Masses and devotions to Our Lord, Our Lady and the saints.  There is a Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel which fosters the parish’s strong devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.  Various service groups and prayer groups afford the faithful opportunities to grow in their knowledge and service of God and neighbor.
