Helpers of the Immaculate Heart

Our Purpose

The purpose of our group is to teach the girls of our parish, ages 5-12, how to grow in holiness through imitating Mary’s Immaculate Heart in an atmosphere of gentle instruction and wholesome socialization. We will do this in three ways:

by fostering a healthy life of prayer through devotion to Our Lady (specifically, devotion to Her Immaculate Heart on First Saturdays and the Holy Rosary),
by creating a warm atmosphere in which to build friendships with the other young ladies at our parish, and
by providing opportunities to learn about charity and practice helpfulness both at the parish and in daily life through corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
