Baptismal Font Design Ideas

We're always drawing!  We approach each custom project by putting the church's needs first.  Our designs are inspired by existing architecture and furniture in the church.  We constantly revise our drawings until they are the right fit for the church.  Please use the following pictures to brainstorm ideas for a new baptismal font at your church.

 

 

 

Ambo Design Ideas

The following pictures show Ambos that Henninger's has designed recently.  We've built a database of Ambos that we like to show churches that are considering a new ambo.  Looking and shapes, and materials helps determine what the church likes and doesn't like.  Please use this blog post to brainstorm ideas for your Ambo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Cleveland

Henninger's is very proud of our recent renovation of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Cleveland, Ohio. Our crew began work on the day after Christmas and finished before Holy Week. An incredible amount of work was done during that span, working nights and weekends to accommodate the Cathedral's busy mass schedule. The following before and after pictures display the amazing transformation of the worship space.

Our Lady of Grace Church - Lancaster, SC

A few years ago, Henninger's installed two marble altars, a marble ambo, and marble baptismal font at St. Philip Neri Church in Fort Mill, SC.  Those pieces of furniture were created from new and used marble from Henninger's warehouse.  Under the guidance of pastor, Rev. John Guiliani, St. Philip Neri sponsors a Mission Church: Our Lady of Grace.  Located in Indian Land, SC, (about 15 miles southeast of St. Philip Neri, Our Lady of Grace was established as a Catholic Community and Mission Church in 2008.

Our Lady of Grace's first mass in February, 2008 had an attendance of about 250.  It didn't take long for the church to outgrow its first worship space.  In the last 8 years, the congregation has grown to 360 families with weekend masses drawing more than 400.

Since Fr. Guiliani worked with Henninger's at St. Philip Neri, it was an easy decision to use our team for Our Lady of Grace.  Old marble was selected from our warehouse, along with metalware, and Stations of the Cross.

 

Designs were drawn up and plans were made.

 

Statues were selected from our catalog:

Our crew traveled to South Carolina for the installation after July 4th, 2016.  The install took about one week.

 

Our Lady of Grace's new church will seat approximately 650 people, have nine multi-purpose rooms, a kitchen, offices for staff and a large multi-purpose room for parish events. Its dedication is scheduled for August 15 on the Feast of the Solemnity of Mary.

Clergy Box

Clergy Box is a no commitment subscription plan that Henninger's offers busy priests who don't have time to shop for clergy apparel.


At one time, summer meant a slower period in the calendar for everyone - clergy included. But as demands on everyone's schedule increases, "free" time has decreased across the board. Whether you're covering multiple churches, coordinating communion calls, wake services, or running to Costco on your "day off" for items needed for the Church, your time has become a sought after commodity.

We hear it in in our showroom when priests come to pick up hosts or linens on their way to another errand. We also see the number of internet orders placed after midnight on Tuesday... the only time that shopping for yourself has become feasible. With that in mind, Henninger's is introducing a new way to shop for clergy apparel: Clergy Box.

With Henninger's Clergy Box, you can pick the the type of item to fill your box (clergy shirts, albs, or both), the frequency of the shipments, and the budget per shipment. If you need help picking the right box for you, give us a call at (800) 362-0217. We are happy to walk you through the options. We welcome your feedback to this new subscription service offering. Henninger's wants to make it easy for you to stock up on the clergy apparel that you need.

Because we're so excited about Clergy Box, we are offering free shipping, and you will always receive a higher dollar value on your order than the amount you are billed. For example, if you select a $400 box, we might send you $440 or $410 worth of albs and shirts, but you will always be billed $400. All items are returnable and exchangeable, and we'll pay the freight both ways.

What will be in your Clergy Box and how often will you receive it?  You might select the $100 clergy shirt box with a frequency of "ONCE A YEAR".  You will likely receive two clergy long sleeve tab collar black clergy shirts - once now, and again every 12 months.

Clergy Box subscriptions cannot be combined with any other offers or discounts.
