St. Helena's Catholic Church

About this church

St. Helena's Catholic Church is a Eucharist-centered Roman Catholic parish at 602 Philadelphia Pike in Wilmington, Delaware. Mass is celebrated Saturday evening as a 5:00 p.m. vigil (except at Easter) and on Sunday at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m., with a 9:00 a.m. Mass on weekdays and Saturdays. Confessions are heard on Saturdays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. and by appointment through the parish office. Weddings should be planned about a year in advance, and the site has inquiry forms for baptism, weddings, godparent letters, and sacramental certificates.

Children's Liturgy of the Word runs during the 10:00 a.m. Sunday Mass from October through May for children age three through fourth grade, giving young children an introduction to the readings while parents remain in the church. The parish also lists a religious education program with classes, sacramental preparation, and an adult scripture study. The Parish Social Ministry office runs an outreach program that helps with emergency utility and rent assistance and a food pantry open by appointment, in partnership with the Food Bank of Delaware. Other volunteer groups include Meals on Wheels delivery, a sewing group, Lazarus Ministry for grieving families, social justice and respect life ministries, and a Young at Heart group. Liturgical ministries such as lectors, altar servers, and Eucharistic ministers welcome new volunteers through the rectory. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
