Most Reverend Frederick B. Henry

With heavy hearts, we share a message from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary.

"It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of the Most Reverend Frederick Bernard Henry, the Seventh Bishop of the Diocese of Calgary. He passed away peacefully at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, December 3, 2024 at the Rockyview General Hospital. He was 81 years of age.

We entrust Bishop Henry to the Merciful Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary and implore the clergy and faithful of our diocese to pray for the repose of his soul."

Bishop Henry had a great impact in our local parishes and in Medicine Hat Catholic schools during his many years as the Bishop of the Calgary Diocese. He provided a great example of living our faith with courage and joy.

Please remember Bishop Henry and his family in your prayers.
