New Hampshire Catholic Appeal!  Begins May 14-15, 2022!
This Appeal eliminates 6 second collections (Seminarians, Retired Priests, Catholic Schools, Support for Poorer Parishes, NH Missionaries, Catholic University & USCCB) and eliminates parishes having to pay for two ministries (Parable Magazine & Deacon formation). These 8 ministries will now all be funded through this one Appeal along with NH Catholic Charities!
How much to give? Suggested: What one normally gives to NH Catholic Charities plus 6 second collections.
Pay by credit card or check (checks made out to NH Catholic Appeal). Make a one time gift or pay in installments. Put it in the IHM Weekend Collection basket, mail it in, or pay online. (Please indicate you are a parishioner of IHM - so we get credit for your gift too! Anything over what we are assessed comes back to the parish! And anything below we are assessed we have to make up for. )

Synod Gathering Next Weekend - Sat. May 21 & Sun. May 22!
In response to Pope Francis call for a "Synod on synodality" in 2023, Bishop Libasci has asked parishes to gather in small groups to discuss. We will be gathering next weekend May 21-22 after each of our Masses in our parish hall. Everyone is invited to participate!
"Synod" means "a coming together" or "journeying together", so a "Synod on synodality" is literally a coming together to reflect on the ways in which we should be coming together and journeying together as church communities - not only for a synod but because that is who we are as church. Rather than gathering to debate thoughts, it is meant to be a coming together at a more fundamental level to listen respectfully and accompany people as they share their experiences and stories of faith in their lives.
So what is being done in preparation for the synod is meant to be a way of life for parishes going forward.
