We Are Our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish

United in Faith, Love and Service to others

 

October 24, 2024

On October 21, 2024, Archbishop Allen Vigneron issued a decree that relegates Saint James Church, Ferndale, to secular but not unbecoming use; that is, the building will no longer be used as a church. The decision takes effect on November 4, 2024. A certified copy of the decree may be obtained by contacting the Our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish Office, Oak Park. For additional information and assistance in understanding the details of this announcement, you may write to chancellor@aod.org.

St. James Church Closing Mass was Sunday, Nov. 3 at 11am.

PLEASE NOTE - From the parish office regarding the process to request and receive a certified copy of the decree: 

To receive a certified copy of the decree you must come to the parish office during office hours which are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between the hours of 10am – 2pm.  Please call the parish office at 248.545.2310 prior to arriving at the parish office so staff are aware you are coming.
