Diocesan Feast in Lohja and Stella Maris on Saturday, August 10

Welcome to the Diocesan Feast!

The celebrations will begin with a Pontifical Mass in the medieval Saint Lawrence Church in Lohja at 10.30. Before Mass, there is opportunity for confession.

After the Mass, the feast will continue at Stella Maris with lunch at 13.00, a lecture on the Year of Faith at 14.00, Marian procession and prayer at 15.00, and farewell coffee at 16.00. Confession is possible also at Stella Maris.

Please join us so we can build our Diocese together! Please let the parish know if you are coming (even if you come by private car). The parish office will also provide information about transport arrangements for those who wish to book a seat on the bus from the parish. The bus leaves St. Henry's at 9. a.m. (not at 9,30 as previously advertised).

NEW! You can now sign up to the Diocesan Feast by filling in this form.

Sun shone on Corpus Christi procession

3/6/2013

On a very sunny first Sunday of June, St. Henry's Cathedral Parish celebrated Corpus Christi with a procession after the High Mass. Bishop Teemu Sippo SCJ carried the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance under a baldachin along Tehtaankatu, down Raatimiehenkatu (pictured) and back towards the Cathedral along Puistokatu. The procession was followed by a Benediction with the Blessed Sacrament.
