Grace
to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 1:2)
I am
pleased to welcome you to our parish community. We feel blessed by your
commitment to membership which adds to our growth and enhances the gifts,
talents and resources of the parish.
Our
parish includes the towns of Hampton, Hampton Falls, Seabrook and Seabrook
Beach. We are also pleased to welcome families from neighboring communities who
desire to worship with us on a regular basis.
We are
constantly growing, redefining and adding to our ministries. But despite the
constant growth, our calling remains the same, to love, worship and serve God
our Father through the Lord Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. To
that end we are radically committed until we take our place with all the Saints
and Mary in heaven.
Our ministries,
programs, activities and organizations, offer many opportunities to enter more
deeply into the life of this parish. You may see these in the attached listing.
I pray you will find something here that will bring you an opportunity for deeper
love and commitment to Jesus Christ.
Your
priests of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish are very interested in
meeting you personally. Because of the size of the parish, (some 3000 families,
and approximately 8,000 parishioners), we do struggle to know everyone by name.
Therefore, we trust that you will be patient with us as we make every effort be
more acquainted with you, and especially come to know you in the breaking of
the Eucharistic bread each time we share the presence of Jesus Christ at the
holy Mass.
I am
yours in Christ Jesus,
Fr. Moe
