NEW: With Gratitude
A heartfelt thank you to all the committees, ministries, servers and parishioners who generously donated of their time, talent and treasure during this Christmas season. We’re grateful to all who made the celebration of our Christmas liturgies prayerful and uplifting and our worship space so beautiful! Thank you to all who helped us remember those in need in the Nashua area through our Outreach Holiday Gift Program, our Middle School special outreach program and your continued generous contributions to the Corpus Christi Food Pantry and Assistance.
We’re especially thankful to our parishioners for their contributions towards our beautiful Christmas flowers and their ongoing support of our parish. We’re grateful for the blessing of each one of you!
