Do you feel something missing in your life?

Are you interested in learning more about the

Catholic faith? Do you have friends or family members who are questioning

what Catholicism is all about?

Do you have Catholic family members or friends who have fallen away from the faith?

We invite and welcome you and them to investigate the truth

about Catholicism by joining the RCIA group here at OLMM

Parish, which will resume in September.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a program

designed to help non-Catholics and non-practicing Catholics learn more about Catholicism through a series of classes,

discussions and prayer. RCIA helps people grow in faith and

knowledge and a relationship with Jesus as they consider becoming Catholic.

If you feel the RCIA process is something you or a friend/

family member might be interested in, please contact Sherry

Impastato at

simpastato@olmmparish.org or 926-2206.

I look forward to hearing from you, God bless,

Sherry Impastato

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:

The Forgotten Virtue: Pathway to Holiness God opposes the proud but bestows favor on the humble. (1 Peter 5:5) In this revealing talk, Fr. Casey shares how wisdom and blessings come through a healthy cultivation of the virtue of humility, and he equips us to be vigilant in avoiding that often subtle temptation and danger to the soul, which is pride. He shows how humility allows us to see things, and ourselves, as they truly are, and how pride makes us prone to serious mistakes, both in our spiritual and practical lives. At the end of this presentation is a bonus segment from Confession by Fr. Larry Richards. Praying the Rosary Like Never Before Dr. Edward Sri is a nationally sought Catholic speaker who appears regularly on EWTN, and is a founding leader of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students). In this discussion of his book "The New Rosary in Scripture: Biblical Insights on Praying the Twenty Mysteries" (Servant Books), Dr. Sri shares John Paul II's practical strategies for praying the Rosary better, so that you can encounter Jesus more deeply in prayer. 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?

Dear Parishioners,

Bishop Libasci has asked that our Diocese restore the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation to its original place,

before the celebration of 1st 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 the

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 perma-

nently seals us to Jesus Christ. Through the sacrament of the Eucharist we receive Christ, Body, Soul, and Divinity, in the

bread and wine. In the early church, people were initiated into the community at one single event. They were baptized,

anointed with chrism and shared in the Eucharist. The sacraments, over time, have been separated from one another and

this happened for a variety of reasons. The Second Vatican Council asked the Church to make it more clear that Confir-

mation is intimately connected with Baptism and the whole of Christian initiation. This also helps us to see that Eucharist

completes our initiation into the Church and unites us as one body in Christ.

Go to www.catholicnh.org/lifelong for more information on this important change.
