Additional observations The parish was established in 1929. The church has some nice elements, including its crucifix, stained glass windows and image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Our Lady of Perpetual Help had been the only parish serving the Clovis community until 2018, when Divine Mercy Parish, Clovis opened.

Seems like a nice Church to visit if I were in the area on a weekend. Would have preferred an interior photo with all the lights on. While some might not like ‘modern’ architecture, I personally think it is well done.
“Orthodox” you say? Why no TLM, the Mass of All Time? You can assist at Mass in Spanish (why?), or Korean (why?), but not in the historic and authoritative language of the Catholic Church. Sorry, but how can today’s “NewChurch” hope to survive as people understand that it is a made-up institution, full of Man-centered invention. Yes, the Novus Ordo can be attended, but why miss the glory and benefits of the True Latin Mass?
