Dear Parish Family,
Another week has come and gone! How was your “attitude of gratitude” this week? We’re grateful for the gift of all of you! Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. Whether you’re watching Bishop Christian’s weekly messages, visiting our website or Facebook page, attending Eucharistic Adoration on Sundays, stopping in for personal prayer time during the week, calling, emailing, sending notes, dropping off goodies or generously giving your weekly offertory, WE APPRECIATE IT ALL! We are anxious to gather once again as a parish family but until then, we are grateful for all you’re doing to stay in touch. Remember to check in on fellow parishioners and spread your “attitude of gratitude”!
We miss you and continue to pray for you. If you have any questions, special needs or prayer intentions, we encourage you to contact us. You may email us at parishoffice@stjoenash.org or call the parish office at 603-883-0757 ext. 2.

We know that these days have not been easy and even frustrating at times. Let us continue to make that special effort to pray the rosary this month and ask Mary, our heavenly mother, for her intercession in stopping the coronavirus pandemic. Let us also take the advice of Paul: “Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer” (Romans 12:12). We take comfort in knowing that Jesus is with us and we trust in Him!
May the Lord bless you,
Bishop Christian and the Parish Staff
