New Hampshire Catholic Appeal

Next week begins the annual New Hampshire Catholic Appeal (NHCA): Future of Our Faith II, Jesus, I trust in You. The NHCA is the Church in New Hampshire’s annual campaign to support essential ministries and programs of our faith. Last year, our parish along with the other 87 parishes raised more than $4.3M. 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, faith formation, 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

2025 NH Catholic Appeal "Future of our Faith II"

An Invitation from Bishop Libasci

Revive. Ignite. Transform.

Bishop Libasci invites everyone to participate in a special New Hampshire Eucharistic Pilgrimage during the Jubilee Year. For 33 days, from May 18 through June 19, 2025, our Eucharistic Lord will be prayerfully processed throughout the Diocese – which encompasses the entire State of New Hampshire – stopping at every parish and Catholic school.

Inspired by their journey of 1,200 miles to Indianapolis during the National Eucharistic Revival in July of 2024, the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Healing Love organized this pilgrimage in partnership with Bishop Libasci and Diocesan staff to bring a similar experience to our local communities. Their careful consultation with other dioceses and commitment to spreading love and zeal for the Eucharist has resulted in a detailed logistical plan. It will provide the faithful with an opportunity to participate in their home parishes and schools with Eucharistic events such as Mass, adoration and public procession.

The New Hampshire Eucharistic Pilgrimage will kick off on Sunday, May 18 at the 10:30 a.m. Mass at Saint Joseph Cathedral and will end there on Thursday, June 19, the Feast of Corpus Christi. Information about the statewide route and specific dates the pilgrimage will visit the Diocese’s 89 parishes and 26 schools. Check the Diocese of Manchester NH Jubilee 2025 Events page often for updates!

Welcome!

I find it amazing that I have been here since June of 2003.  Time truly flies by us!  It is wonderful to have such a vibrant parish, including countless families that have been part of St. Patrick Parish for generations.  It is also encouraging to see so many new and young faces that have become part of the fabric of this community.  We are indeed blessed!  As we begin our next 130 years, let us recommit ourselves to our God, our faith, our tradition, and our mission to make Jesus present in the world.

— Father Bill
