Hello Parish Family,
The Lord is risen and we get to celebrate for fifty days! From now until Pentecost we are in a season of joyful Easter celebration. Alleluia, Alleluia! We celebrate the Resurrection, the passage of death to life, the power of love that is stronger than death!
We pray that you and your loved ones are still well and continuing to stay safe. We sure do miss you! How are you doing? Do you need us to pray for anything? If you have any questions or special needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You may email us at parishoffice@stjoenash.org or call the parish office at 603-883-0757 ext. 2.

During this COVID-19 pandemic, let us be witnesses to the life of the Risen Christ and make God’s kingdom more visible by the way we love, care and stay in touch with one another. Take a moment to think about your fellow parishioners. Is there someone you can reach out to or check in on with a phone call or a note? If we all reach out to one person each day imagine the ripples. Just like lighting our candles during the Easter Vigil Mass…each candle lighting another until the entire church is illuminated. Let’s share the Light of Christ!
Blessings and peace from Bishop Christian and the Parish Staff!
