To: All Priests, Deacons, Seminarians and Diocesan Staff
From: Bishop Libasci
Date: May 14, 2020
RE: Priesthood Ordination

With praise and thanksgiving to God, Bishop Libasci will ordain two men to the priesthood for the Diocese of Manchester, on Saturday, June 6th, at 10am, at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph.
In light of the coronavirus outbreak and safety restrictions, these men – Deacon Ryan Amazeen and Deacon Joshua Livingston - were given the option to, but chose not to, postpone their ordination. They will receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders in a largely empty Cathedral, with only their parents, and close relatives and friends in attendance. Other family, friends, priests and deacons and other well-wishers will be with them in spirit, as they will be able to watch a livestream of the Mass from the Saint Joseph Cathedral website.
Although most priests, deacons and the laity will not be able to share in this most wonderful and significant moment in the life of the Church in person, we are sure that the ordinandi would be grateful if pastors encouraged their parishioners to pray for them and watch the livestream of the Ordination Mass at www.stjosephcathedralnh.org.

Weekly Administration E-Mail Communications for Pastors and Associate Pastors

May 6, 2020

Welcome to the Diocesan Digest!

If you have any questions or suggestions about this communication, please contact Bevin Kennedy (bkennedy@rcbm.org, 603-663-0136). While each entry indicates other parish or location personnel that also receive that certain communication, it is important for the priests and parish staff to discuss diocesan activities with the parish deacons to keep them informed of diocesan wide activities, for which they may be genuinely concerned or have a desire to understand. Please feel free to share digest communications with your deacons as you deem appropriate.

Transitional Diaconate Ordination Announcement

With praise and thanksgiving to God, Bishop Libasci will ordain two men as transitional deacons, the final step before becoming a priest, on Saturday, May 30, at 10am, at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph.

In light of the coronavirus outbreak and safety restrictions, these men — David Gagnon and Joseph Moynahan — were given the option to, but chose not to, postpone their ordination. They will receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders in a largely empty Cathedral, with only their parents, and close relatives and friends in attendance. Other family, friends, priests and deacons and other well-wishers will be with them in spirit, as they will be able to watch a livestream of the Mass from the St. Joseph Cathedral website.

Although priests, deacons and the laity will not be able to share in this most wonderful and significant moment in the life of the Church in person, I am sure that David and Joseph would be grateful if pastors encouraged their parishioners to pray for them and watch the livestream of the Ordination Mass at www.stjosephcathedralnh.org.

An announcement regarding the priesthood ordination will be published next Wednesday.

For more information: Becky Vinson, 603-663-0153, rvinson@rcbm.org.

This information is being distributed to pastors.

 

From Father John: On May 7 we deposited $1,141.00 for the parish Thank you for your generous support.

Sent by Father John: an email written by Richard Chuda, Financial Secretary, St. Catherine's Council 6938

I notified the council regarding the untimely death of Brother Alex Puksta. Lisa Sweet has put together a GoFundMe page to help the family with expenses. Every little bit helps, your generosity is appreciated.

I thought you might be interested in supporting this GoFundMe.

Even a small donation could help Lisa Sweet reach their fundraising goal. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.

Thanks for taking a look!
