Welcome to St. Henry's Catholic Church!

From Fr. Bob Hogan, BBD

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity:  We believe as Catholics that there is only one true God, who has always existed, and who created the whole universe.  In the Scriptures, and especially through Jesus, it has been revealed to us that there are 3 persons in the one God:

God, the Father; His only Son, Jesus; and the Holy Spirit.  A comparison could be that we have one brain, but the brain has the three different abilities:  to think, to remember and to choose.  God is totally united in one God, but reveals himself in 3 unique ways (3 persons).

God reveals Himself to us as:

1)  A loving, merciful Father (Abba=daddy) who created the whole universe;

2)  Jesus, the eternal Son of God, who became a human being to represent all humans in overcoming the power of sin and evil by His suffering, death and resurrection; who taught us God’s ways by words and example;

3)  The Holy Spirit, who is God’s continuing presence with us; who makes Jesus spiritually real for us and forms us in the image of Jesus; guides and inspires us; empowers us to overcome fear and gives us spiritual gifts so God can work through us; and unites us as the body of Christ.

God is like a family.  A family has a Father, a mother and children.  A good family is both united together, but treats each person as a unique individual.  Inspired by the Holy Trinity may God teach us how to work together in unity, while treating every person as unique and precious.

WELCOME BACK!

We are open for Mass Celebration but only at 25% capacity!

Archdiocese of San Antonio Precautions for Returning to Mass

Guidelines for Mass Attendees

As we prepare to return to public celebration of Mass, here are some guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of our local Church.

1. If you are feeling ill, stay safe at home. We highly  encourage those who are vulnerable and people with underlying medical conditions continue  to participate in Mass via Parish live stream: www.ArchSA.org/covid-19#livestreams Mass from San Fernando Cathedral will continue to be broadcast on CTSA on Spectrum Channel 15, Roku,  Amazon Fire, Facebook, YouTube, and Vimeo.  Find details here: www.ArchSA.org/pastoral-ministries

2. Wash hands thoroughly before coming to the Church.

3. Wear a face mask before entering the Church and throughout the Mass.

4. Bring hand sanitizer, your own missal or other Mass aids.

5. Always maintain 6 feet between you and others.

6. Follow the instructions of the ushers as you enter and leave the Church.

Communion. Persons should come forward in a single communion line in the aisle designated at six-foot intervals. Masks should be worn in the communion line and then lowered while in line before approaching the Communion Minister. After communion the mask should be raised immediately. Communion will be received in the hand only.

Sanitation. All parishes will be sanitizing pews, entrances, restrooms, and all other facilities used regularly.

Attendance Capacity. Because seating is limited due to social distancing, you may be asked to attend at another time or view Mass by live streaming.

More details can be found on our website: www.ArchSA.org/mass-guidelines

We appreciate your prayers, time, and monetary support as we grow together in God. As such, we are proud to introduce our new online giving program called GiveCentral.  https://www.givecentral.org/location/952

This program will allow St. Henry to accept Sunday donations, holy day collections. Signing up for online donations will help the parish greatly, as your automatic payments cut down processing costs and time, and also help the parish predict budgeting.

Thank you again, not only for your generosity but also engagement. We appreciate your gifts to the parish, and your generosity truly does magnify the meaningful ministries and community outreach we can perform and support.
