We are now well into our second year!! With the assistance of a local Girl Scout troop, we are now caring for two plots--one at our MQP campus and one at the Town of Salem Community Garden at the entrance to Hawkins Glen. ALL of the vegetables grown in these gardens will be donated to our food pantry!! Tilling of the soil and plantings have been done at both locations, and on June 29th nine beautiful heads of lettuce were harvested from the SMJP Community Garden and delivered to our food pantry for distribution to needy families. And there were exactly nine families signed up for food that day--God works in mysterious ways! MIGHT YOU BE INTERESTED IN HELPING US to feed those in need by joining us in tending the garden? If so, please click on the image to the left to sign up, or contact Sue Levesque at the parish office 603-893-8661.

My thanks to you come in the guise of a few small trees: The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field--it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. (Matt 13: 31) This is my prayer for you and for the parish. I love you all! (Fr. Al). Two dogwood trees, a pink and a white, will be planted at each campus. Thank you Fr. Al! We will always remember you and will pray for you as we admire the trees as they change and grow with the seasons!!

In May, the parishioners of SMJP answered the call to help needy families in Salem. Their generosity helped provide 38 children with summer clothes, shoes and other summer essentials. Not only did the fun clothes and awesome sneakers brighten the summer days of these kids, but it was also a huge help to the families. A big thank you goes out to our parishioner, Laura Andolino, for all of her hard work coordinating this program. Doing the work of Jesus, that’s what it’s all about.

IGNITE the Light of Christ in you and Experience the Power and Presence of The Holy Spirit in Word and Song each week, as Fr.
