Our Faithful Citizenship/Life Matters Committee is a group of parishioners who work to offer opportunities for our parish to show it's concern and respect for all human life at all stages. The Life Matters Committee provides support to the disadvantaged, elderly, and the needy through outreach activities, researching current topics and laws relating to the respect of life, and by praying for respect life issues. This Committee organizes parish wide prayer events and prepares educational materials for the parish.
Throughout the month of October each year, our Parish will remember, in a special way, pregnant and parenting teens, their newborns and children who are in need of assistance. We will be collecting new, unwrapped baby items for Our Place of New Hampshire Catholic Charities.
The Our Place program assists young adults from pregnancy through their child’s third year, by offering them pregnancy services, parenting skills and case management support. Our Place "focuses on the health and well-being of each mother, father and child” by “helping young parents to empower themselves.”
Listed below are the items needed at anytime. Don't wait for October to make your donation. Our Place will accept these items at any time throughout the year. They are located at 16 Oak St., Manchester NH.
