 WELCOME HAYDEN RHODES
TO ST. HENRY PARISH! Hayden travels
from Desoto, Missouri every
week to share his musical talent with us! Please
be sure to welcome
him after Mass!
St. Henry’s Church Needs YOU Parishioners,
your help is urgently needed in the various ministries of the Church.
We are seeing a shortage of Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Music Ministers, Servers and Ushers. We are reminded that stewardship is about giving
your time, talent and treasure. Although your treasure is always needed,
St. Henry’s desperately needs your time and talents in one or more of
the roles. If you would be interested in ushering, please contact George Mehochko at 588-3642, or sign up in the usher room. Please call the
Parish office to volunteer to help with the other ministries. You are already
at Mass, so please consider lending a hand to help in the mentioned ministries.

RESPECT LIFE CORNER-
Working Together in Humility-“That all of you may agree in what
you say, and that there be no division among you.” The text is taken
from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians, 1:10 -13 and
illustrates the need for all Christians to work together and to encourage
one another as we seek to bring about the kingdom of God here on Earth.
Christ Jesus among us is the walking Kingdom of Heaven and He has set
a place for each one of us. Christ encourages us to turn away from our
old sinful ways, rather it be attitudes or prejudice and to embrace a new
attitude of unconditional love for others (agape) as we realize the divine presence of God before us. This realization that God is in all people clears
our vision and fills our hearts. We cry out to the Lord, “Teach us to be
hungry for this living and true bread!” Our hearts must grow until all we
know is Jesus, whom the Father loves above all things.
Learn, Act, Connect, Pray: Every stranger who knocks at our door
is an opportunity for an encounter with Jesus Christ, who identifies with the welcomed and rejected strangers for every age. Who are the strangers in your life that you may open your heart to? Consider teaching English
or Civics lessons at the International Institute
in St. Louis. www.iistl.org , reach out to the
poor in our area, through monetary donations to St. Vincent DePaul and
donate gently used items to SVDP and The Salvation Army.
Pray we can keep open hearts and open minds.
