Dear Parishioners: It has come to our attention that a family attending the outdoors “Trunk or Treat” event has tested positive for COVID. They were present on Friday, October 30th and were tested positive on November 2nd. They had been exposed, it appears, to a person with COVID during the preceding week. We are now informing our parish about what steps to take as a safety precaution. All parish, group events will be canceled for two weeks beginning Tuesday, November 3rd until Wednesday, November 18th inclusive. We will continue to monitor our signups for daily Mass and for weekends. Our limit for all Masses will be a maximum of 40. A few of our staff are being tested for COVID to be safe. Please monitor your own family members for any symptomatic signs of COVID like persistent headaches, continuous coughs, and other signs posted by CDC (Center for Disease Control). www.cdc.gov

Concerning Covid-19,this is a time of disruption for everyone, but we are also called to continue to live as faithful people of God. We encourage everyone to continue their normal weekly support if you can, as we work together to get through this. Several ways you can continue to support St. Henry; a check can be mailed through the US Postal Service, online giving through the “Donate” button on the webpage or call the office at 503-665-9129.
 
 

A large number of regular volunteers at St. Henry are in their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and we are all concerned about keeping them healthy right now. At the same time, we want to continue our outreach to those in need of food who use our SVdP Food Pantry and Day Shelter. If you are 30 – 60 years old and find yourself with unexpected free time at the moment please consider helping in these ministries. Call the office to find out how you can help 503-665-9129.
