Welcome Families!
At St. Henry, we believe families are at the heart of our parish community. Whether you are new to the parish, returning after some time away, or have called St. Henry home for years, we want you to know that there is a place for every member of your family to grow in faith, build friendships, and become involved.
No matter your family's stage of life, St. Henry offers opportunities to pray, serve, learn, and grow together. We invite you to get involved, meet new friends, and discover all the ways your family can become an active part of our parish community.
We offer a variety of opportunities for children and parents to connect with our parish throughout the year. Please look through the many ministries we offer below to help find the fit for your family! We look forward to welcoming your family!
