Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age." Mt 28:18-20

NH CATHOLIC CHARITIES

Miracles Happen Everyday

Since 1945, NHCC has responded to the needs of people from every walk of life in every community throughout the state.  The agency has comforted grieving families, held the hands of scared children, and provided hope for families struggling through difficult times, and helped people in their times of personal crisis.  With each passing year, the call to help becomes more desperate, more involved, and Catholic Charities is faced with the challenge to answer.  The annual appeal is a primary source of funding for Catholic Charities.  It is through your generosity that the agency is able to continue its mission of helping and healing.  Please give what you can.  Our parish goal is $63,000.
