Pope Francis on Homilies

July 5, 2024 /

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

NCR: Pope Francis: Keep your homilies short or ‘people will fall asleep’

Pope Francis has once again appealed to Catholic priests to keep their homilies short, this time warning that homilies should be no longer than eight minutes or “people will fall asleep.” Speaking in St. Peter’s Square for his Wednesday catechesis on June 12, the pope explained that the goal of a homily is to “help move the Word of God from the book to life.”

“But the homily for this must be short: an image, a thought, a feeling. The homily should not go beyond eight minutes   because after that time you lose attention and people fall asleep!” he said.

After reading this article a couple of weeks ago, I remembered a conversation with my parents shortly after my ordination day. When I told them I was preparing the sermon for my first Mass, my mother said, “You’ll need a good beginning,” to which I added, “And a good ending.” Then, my father commented, “And the closer together the better!”

With prayerful best wishes,

Fr. John Mahoney

Our Church, Your Impact!

June 28, 2024 /

Next week begins the annual New Hampshire Catholic Appeal: Future of Our Faith II, One Bread, One Body (NHCA), an initiative designed to strengthen our ministries for the Church in New Hampshire and to reduce the number of annual second collections at parishes. Last year, our parish along with the other 87 parishes raised more than $3.8M. Thank you to all who donated to the appeal last year. The Appeal will take place over the next two weekends at Mass. The NHCA supports the care for our retired and elderly priests, seminarian education and vocations, Catholic education, evangelization through Parable magazine, the Community Services    program at Catholic Charities NH and more.   Every registered parishioner will receive a letter from Bishop Libasci along with appeal materials in the mail soon. Please keep the Church in New Hampshire in your prayers that we may grow together and carry our faith into the future. For more     information, go to https://www.catholicnh.org/nhca
