Celebrating the Feast of Saint Blaise

For centuries, the Memorial of Saint Blaise has been celebrated with crossed candles held under the throat of the Christian faithful and the invocation pronounced,

“Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and from every other illness. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

Saint Blaise’s life is known primarily through legend written some 400 years after his death, yet the tradition of seeking his intercession and blessing throats lives on in countless parishes today. It is a good time to remember that when you come to God or seek the prayers of a saint or a blessing of some kind, you are not practicing magic or being superstitious: you are acting out your faith in God’s love and care.

See in the story of Saint Blaise an occasion to commit yourself again into God’s hands.

With prayerful best wishes,
Fr. John Mahoney

Pilgrim Virgin Home Visitation Program

Lovely Lady dressed in blue,
Teach me how to pray.
God was just your little boy,
When you taught him the way.

The words of this prayer by Mary Dixon Thayer to the Blessed Mother were popularized by Archbishop Fulton Sheen on his famous television show in the 1950s.  Beginning with the first weekend of February 2025, the “Pilgrim Virgin Home Visitation Program” will begin here at St. Joseph’s Parish.  This initiative, sponsored by the Delaney Council of the Knights of Columbus, has taken root in over 40 Catholic parishes so far in New Hampshire.  When families welcome these traveling statues into their home, reportedly, they begin to experience an increase in peace among their families, and sometimes even miracles begin to happen.  

The Pilgrim Virgin Statue is available for individuals and families to take home on a month-by-month    basis, and is easily picked up and dropped off at the church to facilitate transfer from one family to the next.  It comes in a portable case, along with rosary beads and an instruction booklet to help increase prayer and devotion to the Blessed Mother.  

If you are interested, please contact Mary Pieroni at 603-745-7428 to schedule a home visit from the    Pilgrim Virgin Statue.  

With prayerful best wishes,

Fr. John Mahoney
