Sacrament of Holy Orders
The laity are encourage to participate in the
celebration of the sacrament of Holy Orders as
described in Section 1572 of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church:
"Given the importance that the ordination of a
bishop, a priest, or a deacon has for the life of
the particular Church, its celebration calls for as
many of the faithful as possible to take part. It
should take place preferably on Sunday, in the
cathedral, with solemnity appropriate to the occasion..."
The faithful are encouraged to pray for vocations to
the priesthood and deaconate. Groups dedicated to
this purpose at St. Henry include the Serra Club.

proclaims that God has created each person for
eternal life and that Jesus, the Son of God, by his
death and resurrection, has broken the chains of sin
and death that bound humanity. The celebration of
the Christian funeral brings hope and consolation to
the living. From the Order of Christian Funeral The
time of death of a loved one is a time of sorrow and
sadness. St. Henry church and Staff want to assist
you in any way possible. You may download this
booklet and form to help you make the arrangements
for the burial or memorial service for your loved
one.
