Steeped in the Tradition of the Christian East, Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a parish of the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Passaic. We welcome ALL who wish to come and worship, or simply stop in for a visit. Recognizing the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff while retaining our ancient liturgical, spiritual, and sacramental practices, the Byzantine Catholic Faith offers much in the way of Tradition, reverence, piety, and speaks to the true nature of the Universal Church.

Founded in 1954 by a devout group of Byzantine Catholic Faithful primarily from the Coal Region of Northeast PA who moved to the Philadelphia area for work, the parish quickly found a lovely parcel on Woodbourne Rd. in Levittown, PA. An original building was constructed in 1955 to serve as a worship space and the current Temple erected in 1964.

At the core of its founders’ intent, Our Lady of Perpetual Help provides a loving and welcoming environment in which the faithful are able to practice their traditional Byzantine Catholic Faith while serving the greater Levittown community and providing a safe and nurturing environment in which to raise a family in the Faith and to instill in all a love for Jesus Christ.
