Everything we do is centered in the Altar of the Eucharist. From the Catholic Church Altar, we are building new bridges of faith to help us serve the needs of our parish, school, and the larger Chaska community and we hope that you will join us. Let us accompany you on your faith journey. Let us rejoice in companionship, encouragement, faith, and endurance; together we make up for what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, that is, by our participation in His love. Celebrating a common faith in Jesus Christ, we invite you to join us at our weekend and weekday Masses. Obedience to God, who is Love, is our life-long dedication; we open our arms to greet you and our hearts to welcome you to our parish family. Making a difference in your life and the lives of our parishioners, in the city of Chaska, and in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is our plan and our hope. Entrusting ourselves to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, we journey forward in faith from the Altar of the Eucharist to continue the mission of Jesus Christ to educate, serve and evangelize.
