NH Eucharistic Pilgrimage

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

Inspired by their pilgrimage to the 2024 National Eucharistic Revival in Indianapolis, the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Healing Love – some of whom walked the 1,200 miles over 65 days to the Revival site – are planning to replicate the  pilgrimage in New  Hampshire this summer. The NH Eucharistic Pilgrimage, which will kick off on Sunday, May 18 and end on June 19, the Feast of Corpus Christi, will entail 33 days of transporting Bishop Libasci’s monstrance and the Eucharist to all 89 Parishes and 26 Catholic Schools within the Diocese of Manchester. Please reserve noontime on Friday, June 13, 2025, when the Eucharistic Pilgrimage will visit St. Joseph’s Church in Lincoln for one hour of Adoration of the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus. Watch the parish bulletin for more information as the date draws nearer.

With prayerful best wishes,

Fr. John Mahoney

Christ is Risen! Alleluia!!

Dear Parishioners and Friends in Christ,

Christ is Risen! 

Alleluia! 

Happy Easter to you all in this most joyful Easter Season! 
Many thanks to all those who assisted in making our Holy Week and Easter liturgies so prayerful and beautiful.  On your behalf, I thank especially our Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Servers/Sacristans, Greeters and Collectors, Pastoral Musicians, Parish Office Staff, the teams who decorated the church and starched the altar linens.  We owe much gratitude to the many people who worked behind the scenes to prepare for these Lenten, Triduum, and Easter celebrations.

Most of all, I thank you, the parishioners and  visitors, for your active participation and increased attendance during this Easter Season. Many of you have been very generous in supporting the financial needs of the parish, and for this, I am truly grateful! Your faith is truly inspiring!   I was particularly pleased to see so many  of our children and young people accompanying their parents to the liturgies.  Let us acknowledge also the truly amazing participation of our Faith Formation leaders, families, and students.

May this Easter Season fill you with abundant joy, renewed hope, and a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  And may we all experience the Peace of the Risen Lord Jesus in our relationships with God, with one another, and in our own hearts. “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!”

With prayerful best wishes,

Fr. John Mahoney
