Weekly reflection (Nov 1st)
31st Sunday Ordinary Time (Year A)
Message from Fr Francisco Hernandez
May the peace and blessings Of our Lord be with you and your families. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for your continued spiritual and financial support of St. Henry Catholic Parish. Through your generosity, commitment, and love for our parish, we are able to continue our mission of celebrating our faith, strengthening our community, and providing a welcoming place for all who come through our doors. Our Parish Hall has long been an important gathering place for our community. It is where we celebrate our faith, share special moments, welcome families, provide formation, and come together in fellowship. Over the years, countless parishioners, children, ministries, and families have created beautiful memories within this space. Our parish Hall needs improvements, and we are asking for your help to make these renovations possible. Our goal is to renovate and enhance the hall by installing new and durable replacing the curtains, and painting the walls. These improvements will not only beautify the hall but will also help create a safer, more welcoming, and comfortable environment for our parish community. As with everything we accomplish at St. Henry, we cannot do it alone. We need your help. Every contribution, regardless of the amount, brings us closer to completing these important improvements. Your generosity will help transform our Parish Hall into a better place where we can continue to gather, celebrate, learn, serve, and grow together in faith. Together, we can make it happen. Every gesture counts. We prayerfully ask you to consider to this special project. Donations may be made using the donation information provided by the parish, including the QR code available on our parish Hall renovation materials. Your generosity does more than renovate a building—it builds and transforms a place where our parish community can continue to grow and strengthen for years to come. On behalf of St. Henry Catholic Parish, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generosity, prayers, and continued support. May the Lord bless you and your loved ones abundantly and reward you for all that you do for our parish family. With gratitude and prayers, Sincerely in Christ Fr. Francisco Hernandez

This week reflection Nov. 2nd
32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
(Year A)
Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, teaching his disciples the importance of being prepared to receive the Kingdom of Heaven. - Matthew 25:1-13
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus talks about what it means to be prepared to receive the Kingdom of Heaven. This week’s reading follows a series of warnings and predictions by Jesus about the coming of the Son of Man. Jesus wants his disciples to understand that the exact day and time cannot be predicted. He teaches the disciples that they must remain vigilant so that they will not be caught unprepared. When thinking about the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, it is important to consider the first-century wedding traditions of Palestine. Scholars tell us that it was the custom of the day for young maidens—friends and family members of the bride—to meet the bridegroom when he came to bring his bride to her new home. As with many of Jesus’ parables, several levels of interpretation are possible. In last week’s Gospel, we heard Jesus warn against following the example of the Pharisees and scribes. If read in the context of early Christianity’s struggle to define itself against Pharisaic Judaism, this parable is a continuing critique of Judaism. It suggests that the Jewish leaders were like the foolish virgins, unprepared to meet Jesus, the bridegroom of Israel. In the chapter preceding this parable, however, Jesus warns about the destruction of Jerusalem, the tribulation of the end times, and the coming of the Son of Man. When read in this context, today’s parable is a warning to the Christian community to remain vigilant and prepared to receive Jesus, the Son of Man who will return at the end of time. This interpretation is supported by the reference to the delay of the bridegroom. The Christian community for whom Matthew wrote this Gospel was coming to terms with the realization that the promise of Jesus’ return would not be fulfilled within their lifetimes. The question remains for us to ask ourselves, Are we ready to receive Jesus? Will we be prepared to receive him?
All Souls Day” is on November 2nd. All Souls Day envelopes are now available in the church. There will be a special box placed in the church to collect your All Souls Days intentions, and these envelopes will be prayed over for the full month of November. Please feel free to add your loved ones using our envelopes for this very special day to remember them in heaven and in your prayers

Weekly reflection Nov. 8
Pray with the Pope: October 2026
Pope Leo, in his prayer intention for this month, invites us to pray for the good use of wealth, so that we may learn to live with a detached heart, capable of recognizing that every good is meant to be shared, and to transform our resources into instruments of fraternity, service, and mercy.
We are in need of ushers, lectors, cantors, sacristans, and more! Our Masses have grown significantly, and we are looking for helping hands and generous hearts from both our English and Spanish communities. We need help maintaining our worship spaces, as well as caring for our parish grounds and office.
We are also forming a ministry for the sick and homebound. This team will spend time with them, offer prayers, and provide companionship, ensuring our most vulnerable members stay connected to their parish family.
If you are interested, please sign up on the list located on the table near the church entrance, or contact the parish office. Thank you for your active service!
Despite the demands of everyday life, God speaks to us, prompting us to serve others, to love more deeply, and to give generously. The ABCD is a way to respond to that call. When we give together, we become a light in the darkness and hope to the hopeless. Join us in this mission. Together, let us do good and seek peace through our support of the ABCD.
We live in a world longing for peace, hope, and healing. The ABCD is how we, as a united Church, bring that light to others. It is not just a charitable effort it is a sacramental expression of God’s love, reaching every corner of our Archdiocese. Let us walk together in generosity. Every gift matters. Join us in supporting the ABCD today.
The Church is not a building, it is a community bound by faith and love. Through the ABCD, we support one another in Christ’s name. We feed, we visit, we teach, we protect. And we do it together. If you haven’t yet made your gift, we invite you to take part in this mission of mercy by making a gift to the ABCD today.
As we hear the Beatitudes proclaimed today, we are reminded that the Kingdom belongs to those who uplift others. Your gift to the ABCD is a Beatitude in action feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and offering dignity to the poor. Let us walk this blessed path together. Do good and seek peace by making a gift to the ABCD today.
