New Hampshire Catholic Appeal

Future of our Faith II, One Bread, One Body

What is the New Hampshire Catholic Appeal?

The New Hampshire Catholic Appeal: Future of our Faith II, One Bread, One Body, is an initiative for our Diocese to grow and expand ministries in the Church in New Hampshire.  It has consolidated six of our annual collections under one Appeal along with the Catholic Charities NH in-pew special collection appeal and the Parable magazine drive.  

Parishioners of Saint Raphael Parish are very generous and we are grateful to all who donated to the NHCA last year.  The New Hampshire Catholic Appeal again will help fund essential services and ministries like the care for our retired priests, education and formation of seminarians, Catholic education, Parable magazine, the Community Services program, Catholic Charities NH, and more.  Everyone in our parish will receive a copy of the Appeal materials so that you can learn more about the NHCA and how you can participate.  

As you consider making your gift, please consider what you have given to these individual collections (Seminarian Fund, Retired Priest Fund, Parish to Parish Support Fund, Catholic University of America and USCCB, Catholic Education/Catholic Schools, NH, Missionaries Abroad and Migrant and Refugee Ministry in NH plus to Parable Magazine and the Catholic Charities NH Special collection appeal.  

Resources about the New Hampshire Catholic Appeal can be found on this webpage or you can visit the Diocese of Manchester website to learn more about the Appeal: https://www.catholicnh.org/about/get-involved/giving/nhca/

Our parish goal this year is $46,105.93 and any money raised over that goal will be rebated to our parish to use for our parish needs.
