Organ Master Class

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

Back in 2006, parishioners and visitors to St. Joseph’s saw the fruits of their generosity materialize with the purchase of our brand new church organ – a Renaissance Quantum Allen Master Organ.  Among the many benefactors who contributed, the names of 288 of the donors are inscribed on a plaque, “St. Joseph Church Organ Donors,” that hangs on the wall next to the organ. 

Over the past year, Colin McIver, one of St. Joseph’s regular organists, has been participating in a series of Diocesan-sponsored master classes for liturgical organists and pianists from across New Hampshire.  If you would like to experience the master-class model of musical training, you are invited to see and hear Dr. Eric Bermani, Diocesan and Cathedral Director of Music and Organist, rehearse and critique Colin and his classmates as they learn new techniques and various styles of church music.  There is no charge, and you are welcome to stop by for a period of time or stay for the entire class.

Dealing with Transformations

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

As we embark upon the Second Week of Lent, this Sunday’s liturgical readings deal with transformations. God responds to Abram’s faith by making a covenant with him, changing the relationship between the two.  Saint Paul writes of the ability of God to glorify our bodies.  Jesus’ Transfiguration reveals God’s power to transform.  What graces has your faith opened up for you?  What happens when you focus on heavenly things?  When have you been transfigured in some way?  How can this Lent be a transforming experience for you?  For others in your life?

With prayerful best wishes for a transforming Lenten Season,

Fr. John Mahoney
