             ATTENTION ALL SHAW’S SHOPPERS

Shaw’s Super Markets has a program for non-profits
 to raise money that is so easy. 
 All you have to do is bring your register receipts

to church and we total them up and they  give us 1%

of the total minus cigarettes, beer and wine.
The parish plans to use the total proceeds to assist in our
 outreach programs providing financial help to those in need. 
   So far we have processed $25,000 worth of receipts. 
Please remember to save your slips and bring them to church.

                                      Thank you so much!

Miracles Happen Everyday
Since 1945, New Hampshire Catholic Charities has responded to the needs
of people from every walk of life in every community throughout the state. 
The agency has comforted grieving families, held the hands of scared children,
and provided hope for families struggling through difficult times,
and helped people ion their times of personal crisis.
 People like Tanya, who in the middle of winter, received a notice
on her apartment door that she had two weeks to vacate the building.
This was the second time this year that this had happened.
Her landlord couldn’t make his mortgage payment;
the bank was foreclosing and wanted the building empty before auction.
  Tanya’s landlord left town and she’d already paid her rent.
She turned to Catholic Charities for help.
We were able to offer a listening ear, while helping her

navigate appropriate programs and services available to her.
 We couldn’t make her problems go away,
but at least she didn’t have to go through them alone,
 and we were able to offer her some resources.
With each passing year, the call to help becomes more desperate, more involved and
Catholic Charities is faced with the challenge to answer.
The annual appeal is a primary source of funding for Catholic Charities.
It is through your generosity that the agency is able to continue
 its mission of helping & healing. Please give what you can.
You make miracles happen when you make a gift.

   

 

Search Committee for New Principal
Due to the retirement after 30 years of St. Joseph Catholic Regional School Principal,
Pauline Boulanger, SJRCS will be seeking a new principal.
The School Board is establishing a Search Committee to work in concert with
 Dr. Mary Moran, Diocesan Superintendent of Schools, to choose the new principal.
The Board is asking people who have a commitment to Catholic education to consider
 serving on the Search Committee. The following are the qualifications for membership:
an interest in Catholic education, a knowledge of parish and school needs, an ability
to work collaboratively, a respect for confidentiality and good interpersonal skills.
Members of the committee will include representatives of the School Board,
 parents, teachers, pastoral council members, persons with experience in recruiting,
 and educators. The Superintendent will conduct an orientation for members,
which will include the guidelines for the position of principal outlined by the Diocese. <
