Sacraments & Liturgies - St. Henry Catholic Church
Welcome to St. Henry Catholic Church, the home of Ambassadors For Christ Ministries. As a vibrant and faith-filled community, we provide a wide range of sacraments and liturgies to nurture the spiritual journey of our members.

Our Beliefs and Faith
At Ambassadors For Christ Ministries, we embrace the Catholic faith and beliefs. We hold the sacraments and liturgies as sacred and essential components of our spiritual life. Our aim is to uplift our community and help individuals grow in their relationship with God.
The Sacraments We Honor
1. Baptism: The sacrament of Baptism marks the initiation into the Christian faith. Through this sacrament, individuals are cleansed of original sin and welcomed into the Church family.
2. Confirmation: This sacrament strengthens the bond between the individual and the Holy Spirit. It is a celebration of the gifts conferred upon us by the Spirit, empowering us in our Christian journey.
3. Eucharist: The Eucharist, a central sacrament, represents the body and blood of Christ. It is a time of worship and communion, where we remember and partake in the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus.
4. Reconciliation: The sacrament of Reconciliation allows individuals to seek forgiveness for their sins and reconcile with God and the Church. It offers an opportunity for spiritual healing and renewal.
5. Matrimony: Marriage is a sacred bond, and at St. Henry Catholic Church, we are delighted to officiate and bless the union of couples within the Catholic faith.
6. Holy Orders: The sacrament of Holy Orders is for those called to serve as deacons, priests, and bishops within the Catholic Church. It is a commitment to a life of ministry and service to the community.
7. Anointing of the Sick: Through the anointing of the sick, we offer prayers and support to those facing illness or approaching the end of their earthly journey. It provides spiritual strength and comfort.
Our Rich Liturgical Traditions
At St. Henry Catholic Church, we recognize the importance of liturgical celebrations in nurturing our faith and building a vibrant community. Our liturgies are meticulously planned to create a sacred and engaging environment for worship.
1. Mass: The Mass lies at the heart of our liturgical traditions. It is a time where the community comes together to pray, reflect, and receive the body and blood of Christ.
2. Sacramental Celebrations: We strive to make sacramental celebrations, such as Baptisms, Confirmations, and Weddings, moments of joy and deep spiritual significance.
3. Seasonal and Feast Day Celebrations: Throughout the liturgical year, we honor and celebrate the various seasons and feast days, such as Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, enabling our community to engage fully in the Christian narrative.
4. Liturgy of the Hours: The Liturgy of the Hours offers structured prayers and psalms throughout the day, helping individuals foster a prayerful and contemplative spirit.
