Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

“God does not want golden vessels but golden hearts!”
– St. John Chrysostom

As tax-collector-turned-apostle, Saint Matthew may not have had the most popular job when Jesus called him, but the key is not what we do before we hear the call, but what we do after.  Matthew dropped his lucrative post and followed Jesus without looking back.  He gave up the big bucks for even greater treasure—the honor of giving his riches to the poor. 

As you can tell by the posters you see at the church entrances, the 2025 New Hampshire Catholic Appeal (NHCA) is about to “rock full tilt” here at
St. Joseph’s.  As you recall, the NHCA supports the care for our retired and elderly priests, seminarian vocations and education, Catholic schooling, evangelization through Parable magazine, the Community Services programs at Catholic Charities NH, and more.  Last year, we met our parish’s goal of $16,720, and even received a modest return in rebated funds for donations that exceeded our goal.  This year, the parish’s goal is $20,136.  I wish to invite all parishioners and visitors to pray for financial guidance before giving, as I send along special and prayerful thanks for your anticipated generosity.

God bless,
Fr. John Mahoney
