December 22, 2019

Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a Catholic church in Bridgeport, located just a few blocks away from the Monastery of the Holy Cross. The Romanesque-Byzantine structure was designed by Architect Henry Engelbert, and completed in 1892 to serve the new, and growing, Polish community. In 1903 Our Lady of Perpetual Help was consecrated by Archbishop Quigley, making it the first Polish Catholic Church in the United States to receive such an honor.
