Saint Helen Catholic Church

5510 West Cholla Street
623-979-4202

St. Helen's was founded on July 30, 1974 with the late Pastor Edward J. Wajda leading our small community.

The first Masses were held at the Olive Restaurant on Sunday, August 25, at 8am and 10am with about 40 families present. By 1977 we had grown to 420 families and it was on May7 and 8 that we celebrated the first Masses in our new building.

In 2007 Father Bruce Downs became our new pastor.  In 2006 we welcomed Father Jim as our Associate Pastor and in 2008 Fr. Tom became our part-time Associate Pastor.  In 2006 we had almost 2,600 families and by God's grace we continue to welcome more families into our community.
