"When families welcome a traveling statue of Mary into their home, they begin to pray the family rosary daily and miracles begin to happen. So many families have shared that peace came to their families and heartfelt prayer intentions were answered. They now have a peaceful prayer space in their home even when Mary leaves. Many have bought their own statutes to fill that empty space." The Knights of Columbus have purchased two statues & prayer kits, one for each church. Please sign up in church to reserve a week to bring this precious gift into your home!

To reduce heating expenses, Eucharistic Adoration at St. Joseph Church will pause for the next seven weeks and begin again the first Thursday of Lent on February 15, at 11am. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will continue after the Tuesday daily Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes.

To Our Lady of Lourdes – St. Joseph Parishioners, With Father John’s approval, and the permission of the superintendent of NH Catholic schools, we have been given the opportunity to explore the option of becoming a satellite school for Seton Academy, a private Catholic elementary school currently located at Holy Rosary Parish in Rochester. Currently, we are seeing the fruits of Little Blessings Preschool in our own parish and wish to offer a continued Catholic education to these families and families within our parish and surrounding communities. As we continue to explore this option, your prayers are greatly appreciated, and updates will be sent to you as well as dates/times for informational meetings.
