St. Theresa Photo Directory
In the next few weeks
volunteers will be at the sign-in tables in the Narthex, making appointments to
have photos taken for a new directory. Please consider bringing your families
in for photos. This is not a
fund-raiser; this is simply an effort to strengthen our community. Frequently, we know parishioners by sight,
but don't know their names or we see names in the bulletin and don't know who
they are. Many times people call the
office wanting addresses to send sympathy cards, or personal notes to
parishioners and because of privacy laws, we are unable to provide them. This directory will make it possible for
people to communicate as part of the larger community. This is our opportunity
to put names to faces. There will be
many opportunities on weekends and evenings to have photos taken, so please
schedule an appointment at the sign-in table in the Narthex.

LisaMarie
Cantilla, Jim Carr, Jacqueline Desai, Fred Finnerty, Lillian Fortier, Joseph
Huppe, John Kelly, Keith Korbet, Virginia Lembrée, Peter Paul, Rachel Paul,

We are in the process of
updating the Prayer Chain for both parishes.
If you have someone you would like on the prayer chain, please contact
the parish office. Due to privacy
laws, we can only accept names from family members of the person needing
prayers, or from the person to be put on the prayer chain. On January 1st any names not confirmed will
be removed and can be added back on with a call to the parish office.
Adult Confirmation
Preparation
The
Diocese of Manchester will offer the Sacrament of Confirmation for Adults on Sunday, April 25, 2010 at
Saint Joseph Cathedral in Manchester at 2 p.m. . Your pastor’s permission is always
required.
Please see contact information to register or inquire about
additional information regarding sessions.
If you use contribution
envelopes for donations, the church can provide you with a statement of your
donations for tax purposes. Please
contact the parish office to have this statement mailed during January. If you do not use contribution envelopes, we
cannot issue a tax statement. If you
would like to start using envelopes, please contact the parish office.
Seminarian Fund
Collection
January 16-17, 2010
A
vocation is more than a job, more than a career or a hobby. The word vocation
means “a calling.” It is a calling from God to serve. The men of New Hampshire
who have heard God’s call to the priesthood did not come to their decisions
suddenly. They discovered they had a vocation through many years of formation
in parish and family life. But even after one gets the call, the journey has
just begun. Please remember our seminarians in your prayers, and offer your
support to the Seminarian Fund.
Marriage Encounter
Weekends
God
gave us the greatest gift of love when He sent His son to redeem us. He
asks us to love one another as He loves us. Take the time to grow deeper
in love with God, your spouse and your family at a Worldwide Marriage Encounter
Weekend. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekends in New England
are January 8-10, January 29-31 and February 12-14. For more information
call Ralph & Jane Becker at
1-800-710-WWME
or visit our Web page at http://www.wwmeMA.org
Year End Financial
Planning
Please remember the church in
your financial plans for the coming year.
Bequests, donations and gifts can be used towards the building fund or
you can request that the money be used towards purchasing fuel, day to day
running of the parish or special projects.
If you would like to give a gift to the church, please contact the
parish office, or speak to Fr. Mark directly.
St. Theresa Parish
Gardening Committee
On Christmas Eve day, the
gardening committee hung garlands of popcorn and cranberries and strung orange
slices on the Montgomery Spruce for the birds (over near the Holy Family). If
you are in a crafty mood, please join us in creating treats to feed the birds
throughout the winter. It's a great year to gather pinecones--smear them with
peanut butter and roll them in bird seed to create an ornament for a pinecone
bird feeder.
All New Hampshire pro-lifers
are asked to meet in Concord on Saturday, January 16, 2010, to pray and call
for an end to abortion on demand in New Hampshire. The day will start at 9 AM with a prayer
service at the Concord Dump (where aborted fetuses have been historically
discarded) followed by a 10 AM Mass for Life at St. John the Evangelist located
at 72 South Main Street in Concord. At
11:45 pro-lifers will gather at the Capitol and march from the capitol back to
St. John's for a 1 PM lunch and a talk by pro-life speaker Juda Myers. Please consider joining us for one or more of
the aforementioned events. For more
information contact Parish Respect Life Coordinator Michael Tierney or visit
www.nhrtl.org.
2009 was
a busy year at St. Mary Parish. Please
