MIRACLES HAPPEN EVERYDAY

NH Catholic Charities needs your support to continue to make miracles happen for those who are struggling in our state.  As more people come to Catholic Charities for assistance during difficult times, the need for donations grows.  With your gift, over 90 cents of every donated dollar goes directly into programs and services to ho help those in need.  Your donation can make the difference.  Pleas give as much as you can so that when a person suffering finally finds the strength to reach out for help - it’s there.  Our Parish’s goal, $58,000.  Current amount received:  $
