The New Hampshire Catholic Appeal is a Diocesan wide effort to support the ministries of our local Catholic Church here in New Hampshire. The annual appeal supports the following charitable works:
• Catholic Education and Catholic Schools
• Seminarians, Permanent Deacons, and Vocations
• Priest Retirement
• Parable magazine
• Parish needs (Parish to Parish Support Fund and individual parish support)**
• Missionaries abroad and multicultural ministry in NH**
• Catholic University of America**
• The US Conference of Catholic of Bishops**
• Faith Formation: Campus Ministry and the Totus Tuus Program
• Catholic Cemeteries
** These were second collections that used to be taken up in the parishes, but which are now consolidated into the annual New Hampshire Catholic Appeal.
Our participation helps the entire Church in New Hampshire where the needs are the greatest: recruiting new priests, evangelization, the vulnerable, and more. Also, our support makes these ministries possible that no one parish could support on its own. Our gifts demonstrate our commitment to the greater Church for we are many parts in the Diocese of Manchester but one body in Christ with a common mission.
