Thank you so much for your incredible support of this fundraiser. Your generosity truly makes a difference, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

All women are invited to our next WINGS ( Women In God’s Spirit) gathering,

“Be Still My Soul” on Saturday, January 18 from 10:00 am until noon. After a busy Advent and Christmas season, let us take time with God to bring our soul to a place of quiet repose where we can replenish our relationship with Him. This time of sacred stillness will allow us to be with God in a meaningful, personal and transformative way. We hope you can join us! Pre registration is required. Register by visiting our website (http://www.stjoenash.org/wings) or by calling the parish office at 603 883 0757.  Early registration is recommended.

Please join us for Faith Formation, Fellowship and Food.

Saturday, January 25th from 7:15 – 9:00 am in the Church Hall.

The Men of St. Joseph is an association of Christian men across the United States, united under the Catholic Church, who meet on a regular basis to learn and pray together and encourage each other to be the spiritual leaders of their families. We know it is a struggle to balance being a husband, father, worker, coach, friend and spiritual leader. The Men of St. Joseph understand that with each other’s support and shared accountability, it becomes a little easier. Most importantly we know that if we surrender our day to day problems to God, we will be better husbands, fathers and friends. Through Christ, we will become the best version of ourselves.

We welcome all men to join us on this journey.

Please sign up at:
