Dear Friends,
We have kicked-off the New Hampshire Catholic Appeal: Future of our Faith II, Many Parts, One Body, an
initiative for our Diocese to grow and expand ministries in the Church in New Hampshire. It has consolidated six of our annual collections under one Appeal along with the Catholic Charities N.H. parish appeal and the Parable magazine drive. I am grateful to all who donated to the NHCA last year. The New Hampshire Catholic Appeal again will help fund essential services and ministries like the care for our retired priests, education and formation of seminarians, Catholic education, Parable magazine, Catholic Charities NH and more. Everyone in our parish will receive a copy of the Appeal materials so that you can learn more about the NHCA and how you can participate. As you consider making your gift, please consider what you have given to these individual collections in the past (Seminarian Fund, Retired Priest Fund, Parish to Parish Support Fund, Catholic University of America and USCCB, Catholic Education/Catholic Schools, N.H.
Missionaries Abroad and Migrant & Refugee Ministry in N.H.) plus to Parable Magazine and the Catholic Charities N.H. special collection appeal. Our parish goal this year is $96,243.00 and any money raised over that goal will be rebated to our parish to use for our parish needs. Together, we are many parts of the Church in New Hampshire, but one body of Christ and we can make a difference in the lives of many people. To make your gift, please return the gift envelope that you will receive in the mail, visit the Appeal’s website https://www.catholicnh.org/nhca to give online, or call the Appeal Office at 603-663-0170.

With gratitude,
Msgr. Marc 

Update, 1-5-2024: We are grateful to all our parishioners who have given to the New Hampshire Catholic Appeal. As of today, our parishioners have raised $55,562.00 toward our goal of $96,000.00. (100% of the funds raised above this
appeal goal are returned to our parish this year). If you have not made your gift yet, please bring your gift envelope to Mass next weekend or make your gift online at www.catholicnh.org/nhca. Extra gift envelopes are available in the pews. We need the support of all of our parish families to reach our parish goal. Thank you for your support of these important needs and ministries of the Church.
