Ushers Needed
OLMM Parish is looking for Usher volunteers for the 9am Mass on Sunday mornings. Ushers are responsible for supervising the
collections of donations by parishioners. We are required to have at least 2 individuals present during this process each Sunday along with 4 junior volunteer collectors. An additional responsibility is to find individuals to bring the gifts to the altar after the collection each Sunday. Ushers can be male or female, must be registered in our OLMM Parish, and be at least 16 years of age (if an adult is present). A schedule will be posted approximately every 6 weeks for Ushers in the church Sacristy. PLEASE NOTE: This will not be a weekly responsibility if we have enough volunteers come forward. Please contact Leo Filteau at [email protected] if you are interested in adding your name to this Parish Ministry roster.
Our Lady's Sodality will be meeting March
12th at 12:30pm in the St. Catherine

Easter Flowers
Remember your loved ones this Easter
season with a donation in their
memory. Envelopes are available at each entrance of
the church for those who need one. Please fill it out
and place it in the collection basket.
We have ordered our new Paschal Candles for
our churches for Easter. This year's candles are
entitled Genesis.
As the first reading from Genesis for the Easter
Vigil indicates, light was God’s first creation.
The undulating bands of color, punctuated by
22K genuine gold slivers of the moon, suggest
the formless abyss giving way to the Creator’s
cosmic order.At the Easter Vigil, the priest will
personally finish the candle, carving the year,
the Alpha and the Omega into blank wax.
Just a note... There will be baskets available at the
entrances of the church if you would
like to return your old palms.
Thank you.

Has
Something
Changed??
Have you moved, or
changed your phone
number? Do you now
use online giving and
would rather not receive
envelopes anymore? Be
sure to call the Parish
Office at 926-2206 to let
us know about the
changes in your life so
we can update our
records! Thanks!
Below are just a couple of the CD titles available in our Lighthouse Media Collection:
Desires of the Heart: Receiving the Gifts of the Father
Sister Bethany Madonna, vocations director for the Sisters of Life, shares how God not only wants us to know him, but also to give us the desires of our heart and gifts that bring purpose, meaning, and hope. She makes it clear that “receiving is the gift that we give” to the Lord and that he wants to be invited into every aspect of our lives. Speaking from her own life experience, Sister Bethany shows the importance of asking in order to receive all the Lord has in mind for us. Finding the Fullness of Faith
Stephen Ray was raised in a devout, loving, Baptist family. In this presentation, he shares his amazing conversion to Catholicism and explains why he is convinced it is the Church founded by Christ over 2000 years ago. We kindly ask for a donation of $4.00 per book (or otherwise specified suggested donation), $3.00 per CD, $2.00 per booklet and $0.50 per pamphlet so that we may continue this program. Please make all checks out to “OLMM.” Won’t you reach out and help bring someone home?
Highlighting Our Advertisers Did you know that New Day Solutions advertises on the back pages of our bulletin? Any business you give them benefits our parish in the publication of our bulletin. We thank all of our advertisers.
Dear Parishioners,
As you have read in a previous bulletin announcement; Bishop Libasci has asked that our Diocese restore the
celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation to its original place, before the celebration of First Eucharist, and to
make lifelong faith formation a priority within our parish communities. Please read the announcement below from
the Diocese, and if you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Sherry or Chris in our Faith
Formation Office. Have a blessed week, Fr. Gary
“The three sacraments of initiation lay the foundations of every Christian life.” (CCC 1212)
Through the waters of Baptism, we are incorporated into the Body of Christ through the Spirit. We die to sin and
become new creations in Christ. Confirmation is a special outpouring and strengthening of the Holy Spirit. This
sacrament permanently seals us to Jesus Christ. Through the sacrament of the Eucharist we receive Christ, Body, Soul,
and Divinity, in the bread and wine. Eucharist completes our initiation and unites us as one body in Christ. Eucharist is
the Source and Summit of our faith; therefore, OUR DIOCESE WILL BE RESTORING THE ORDER IN WHICH
THE SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION; BAPTISM, CONFIRMATION, FIRST EUCHARIST; ARE
CELEBRATED; culminating with Eucharist.
Go to www.catholicnh.org/lifelong for more information on this important change.
