 Introduction

The records of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 1918 - 2001, were transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, in March 2001, with the cooperation of Reverend Robert J. Wilhelm of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church and Frank Beier of the Catholic Diocese of Toledo, Ohio.

The Genealogical Society of Utah edition consists of first communions 1919 - 2000, confirmations 1920 - 2001, professions of faith 1975 - 2001 and deaths 1949 - 2001. An edition including baptisms* 1918 - 2001, marriages* 1919 - 2001, and deaths 1924 - 1948 has been placed at the Catholic Diocese of Toledo, Ohio and the Center for Archival Collections. (See order of microfilming for a detailed list of these records.) Some records are in Latin.

Due to inconsistencies in pagination and transcription of data, researchers are encouraged to refer to all volumes within each series.

This register and this collection were prepared by Jennifer Golis in March 2001.

*There is a seventy (70) year access restriction on baptism and marriage records. No restrictions apply to the remainder of this collection.

 Agency History

The parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was established in June 1918. The first resident pastor was Father James Lane. A church and school was completed in December 1918. In 1952, a new church was built to accommodate the increasing number of parishioners. This church is still in use today.
