Bishop Peter Libasci invites all men of the Diocese of Manchester to join him in celebrating the Feast of St. Joseph.

At First Saturday Devotions & Women’s Tea, the mission of the ministry continues to focus on the lifelong journeys that we as women experience as wives, mothers, single, and religious. Through monthly focused topics, roundtable discussions and sharing, and prayer, the new purpose of this ministry is to bring each of us steps closer to Holiness as we come to better understand our vocations and how to live them for the benefit of those whom the Father has entrusted to us in this life. Details will be posted on the calendar and in the bulletin for each First Saturday Women's Tea. Contact Angele Cook with any questions at 603-312-0936 or [email protected].

Due to the impending storm, the Adoration Chapel will be closing from Sunday February 22nd at 7:00 PM and will re-open on Tuesday morning, February 24th at 9:00 AM. Monday morning Mass will be celebrated as scheduled.

Did you notice "The Forgotten Way" on the table after Mass last weekend? Chapter One begins with a bold statement: "Beware: Proceed with Caution."

A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family and from the heart of every believer.
