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!

“An old Irish proverb says, ‘It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.’ Indeed, we are created to depend upon one another and walk together in suffering. But when family members or friends approach life’s end, we may not know how best to ‘shelter’ them. Here are some concrete ways we can compassionately care for them: usccb.org/end-of-life-care.”

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..
9028 rosaries recorded!
