Facilitators from the Archdiocese of New Orleans are scheduled to meet with parishioners of St. Henry Catholic Church tonight to prepare families for the church's closure and merger with a nearby church.

But the leader of a group called Friends of St. Henry that is opposed to the church's closing has urged parishioners to bring cots and bedrolls to occupy the church indefinitely if they don't like what they hear during the meeting.

The meeting is a scheduled session at 7 p.m. at the church, 812 Gen. Pershing.

Under the archdiocese's post-Katrina reorganization plan, St. Henry Church will close and merge with nearby St. Stephen Parish.
