Baby Bottle Fundraiser
St. Henry Chapter of St. Vincent De Paul is holding a fundraiser to support our local
Pregnancy Care Center. The fundraiser involves Baby Bottles.
These are given out
on Mothers' Day, May 12th. Please place your loose change into the Baby
Bottles over the next 5 weeks, and then return the bottles to the church on
Fathers' Day, June 16th. Hopefully, by the end of the 5 weeks, the bottles are nice
and full with loose change to help the babies! Last year we raised $1,650.00.
Please pray for vocations to the priesthood in this diocese!

Fast and pray initiative is regarding a state-wide effort to fast
and pray every Friday for the leadership in the State of Illinois.
This initiative was started by a group of concerned Lay Catholics
from the Joliet diocese following the reversal of Roe v Wade
and the impact it could have on this state. It is our intention
to unite in prayer and fasting
every Friday throughout the State.
Parishes from all six dioceses have
been or will be contacted to help spread the word.
The Belleville Messenger posted an article in the September 29th issue regarding the importance of this initiative.
Thank you Father Ken!

“The Lord says to us, ‘Do not fear: I am with
you’ (Isaiah 41:10). He speaks these words
not as one who merely observes our pain, but
as one who experienced immense suffering.
And the very wounds that bear witness to his
suffering indicate the essence of our identity
and worth: we are loved by God. Reflecting
on the healed wounds of the Risen Christ, we
see that even our most difficult trials can be
the place where God manifests his victory.
He makes all things beautiful. He makes all
things new.”

On February 12, 2023, our parish began The Parish Rosary Program. Each week parishioners are requested to either email to the church secretary sthenryc@peaknet.net or drop in the collection basket a slip of paper with the number of rosaries they prayed the previous week. Weekly, year-to-date, and grand totals will be printed in the church bulletin.
There are many reasons to pray the rosary: reparation for sin, world peace, political civility, the end of abortion, souls in purgatory, the intentions of the Holy Father, vocations, lukewarm and fallen away Catholics, marriages, and those in the most need of God’s mercy. But perhaps the best reason of all is by praying the rosary as Blessed Mother has requested, is that she will bring us closer to Jesus and in the process we will become more Christ like.
All adults and children are asked to participate. If you are unsure of how to pray the Rosary, there are instructions in the back of church..
6426 rosaries recorded!
