Faith Formation

This year’s Faith Formation students have wrapped up  another year of learning and fun! Our elementary students met weekly in person, and our middle school students   did their lessons online. In addition to learning more about our faith, we got together for a pool party in August to  celebrate our learning in 2021-22 and to kick-off this year; made Advent calendars for the Christmas season; led the Stations of the Cross one Friday during Lent; packed   Easter gift bags for children who attended Mass over   Easter weekend; and had a Catholic Jeopardy tournament for the final class of the year last week!

Thanks to Karen Gallagher and Kathleen McDermott     who helped with the elementary students and to Annie  Anderson who worked with the middle school students.

And finally, congratulations to Camden Anderson, Ian    Anderson, and Max Whitman who completed their final year of formal Faith Formation! Please pray for them and all our students as they continue their journey to grow   closer to God and discover ways they can be His presence in their community, their school, and their families.

Mission Cooperative Appeal

Dear Parishioners and  Visitors, 

Every two years, Bishop Libasci asks that parishes throughout the Diocese of Manchester welcome a missionary to speak on behalf of the “Mission     Cooperative Appeal.”  Reflecting on the assertion in Acts of the Apostles, “We cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20), Bishop states, “We encourage our parishioners to answer that call …by sharing our zeal.  We can speak about our faith, about our passion for mission – and what support of this evangelizing work means for more than 1,100 mission dioceses.” Further, Pope Francis reminds us, “As Christians, we cannot keep the Lord to ourselves as we recall with gratitude all those men and women who by their testimony of life help us to renew our baptismal commitment to be generous and joyful apostles of the Gospel.”

This weekend, please join me in welcoming Father Michael Adebote to St. Joseph Parish.  Father is a missionary priest of the Society of African Missions (SMA Fathers), whose mission organization is  currently ministering to seventeen countries in  Africa, primarily by providing basic needs of building schools, churches, water projects, health centers, and by supporting peace efforts in countries affected by war and in the most poverty-stricken areas.

With prayerful best wishes,

Fr. John Mahoney
