A New Approach to Time and Talent

Last week, St. Henry Church held its first Time and Talent Ministry Fair in a virtual format. The event was aimed at showcasing the various ministries of the church and encouraging parishioners to get involved. The church sent daily emails, beginning with a video message from Fr. Mark Beckman inviting everyone to explore various ministries. Each day, a new group of ministries were highlighted, and on Sunday, the event concluded with an in-person Social Action Volunteer Fair. During the Volunteer Fair, attendees had the opportunity to meet with Parish Member Coordinators and Representatives from the organizations supported by St. Henry Social Action Ministry. We are glad to report that the week-long event was a huge success, with many expressing interest in a new opportunity in the parish, and taking the first step toward making a difference in their community and the lives of others.

Celebrating our Seniors at the 2023 Senior Luncheon

Our 2023 Senior Luncheon took place on Tuesday, September 19th in the Fellowship Hall and was attended by over 150 parishioners and their friends. The event included delicious food that was served by the 8th grade boys of St. Henry School. Additionally, the crowd was treated to a mini performance by some of the school’s PreK4 students and received a flower from the students after their performance. The event wrapped up with a sing-a-long lead by our Music Ministry with Fr. Mark helping lead a song.

Thank you to all of our staff, volunteers and community partners that helped make this event a success! We hope to see you next year!

St. Henry Connection with Fr. Mark Beckman

St. Henry Connection with Fr. Mark Beckman March 25, 25, 2020

O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under Your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin Mary. Amen.
