Monday, February 15, was Day 1 of the Consecration to St. Joseph! Did you know the author of the book we're reading played a pretty big role in Pope Francis' decision to dedicate this year to St. Joseph?

The Incredible Story Behind the Year of St. Joseph

December 8, 2020 - December 8, 2021
Year of St. Joseph

Pope Francis proclaimed a special “Year of St. Joseph” and marks the 150th anniversary of Blessed Pope Pius IX’s declaration of Saint Joseph as a Patron of the Universal Church, describing him as a model father and a support and guide for troubled times.

Picture
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, 
and defend us from every evil. Amen

~excerpt from Pope Francis's Apostolic Letter
Patris Corde ("With a Father's Heart")

Summer Youth & Family Activities

The inaugural Summer Youth and Family Activities Program 2016 was a success! Students in Grade 6 and higher and their families culminated the program with a day of hiking, swimming, cookout, and campfire at Steele Hill Resorts. During the summer they hiked to Lost River Gorge and the Franconia Falls Trail, biked the Rail Trail in Boscawen, visited the LaSalette Shrine, and went to Chucksters in Chichester and Canobie Lake Park! 

Check out the bulletin board in the parish hall with pictures of the great activities and friendships made! Keep your eyes open for Fall Events and Activities for Families and Teens!
