​Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel
218 Ruxton Ave., Manitou Springs, CO 80829
Parking pass is needed to park on Sundays. Available inside the church. 

Mass Time: Sundays at 5 pm.

Welcome from our Associate Pastor Fr. Randy Rentner, CSC

Welcome to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel in Manitou Springs, one of two mission churches that are part of Sacred Heart Parish in Old Colorado City.  OLPH is the oldest Catholic Church in the Diocese of Colorado Springs, although ironically, Sacred Heart Church started out as a mission church of OLPH!

OLPH celebrates Mass on Sundays at 5 pm in our quaint chapel which is now well over a hundred years old. We have long-time parishioners from the nearby area and from as far away as Woodland Park, but we enjoy visitors, especially those who vacation in Manitou Springs.

We are currently completing a large building project that connects our chapel, via a handicap accessible ramp and deck, to the Father Schultz House, the old rectory which now serves as our Community gathering space. The newly renovated bathroom in the Father Schultz House will now be handicap accessible as well. Our grotto, built in 1905, has just been refurbished as well.  We continue to collect donations as part of a $45,000 matching grant we’ve received from Catholic Extension. Gifts can be made to our Building Fund or on our online giving platform. ​

History of Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Picture
Our Lady of Perpetual Help was founded in Colorado City in 1860 to minister to the first settlers in the area. On July 30, 1882, Bishop Joseph Machebeuf dedicated a Catholic Church in Manitou Springs. The new church, built by the Gillis brothers at 218 Ruxton Ave., was dedicated on August 1, 1889, with Fr. Frederick Bender as pastor. A small rectory was built that same year. Four years later, Fr. J.B. Francolon became the pastor and built Miramont Castle. On August 3, 1903, the original church was destroyed by fire. A new structure was built and dedicated by the following October.  Two years later, Fr. Michael P. Callanan added the Lourdes Grotto on the property.

In 1926, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate took charge of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, serving it as a mission from the expanded and now renamed Sacred Heart Parish in Old Colorado City. The Congregation of Holy Cross assumed pastoral leadership in 1984.
