On the last Sunday of each month, there is an envelope for Parish Mission Projects. The funds are equally divided among our sister Parish in Hinche Haiti, Corpus Christi Food Pantry and Assistance and Marguerite’s Place.
Many parishioners, when the church was built, purchased bricks engraved with names of deceased loved ones or the dates of significant milestones in their lives (birth, anniversary or sacramental dates).
Corpus Christi Food Pantry and Assistance is located at 3 Crown Street, Nashua. The Pantry helps prevent hunger. They provide food, basic toiletries, and basic cleaning supplies to all clients in need. Corpus Christi may also supply a simple gift for a child’s birthday and/or basic back-to-school supplies. In special support of our seniors, Corpus Christi Food Pantry delivers food to four low-income elderly housing complexes in Nashua once a week. The Assistance Services helps prevent homelessness by providing financial guidance (referrals, budgeting, planning and advocacy). Those clients who are eligible also receive financial help to prevent such things as evictions, utility shut offs, to assist with transportation, education, and other basic needs. Contact them (882-6372 or 598-1641).
Marguerite’s Place has a 25-year history of empowering mothers experiencing homelessness on their journeys toward self-sufficiency. Marguerite’s Place supports homeless women with children in their quest for self-sufficiency by providing them with safe, stable, transitional housing, childcare along with emotional, educational, and supportive services to help families thrive. Contact them (598-1582 or margueritesplace.org).
St. Gianna’s Place is a caring home for pregnant women in crisis and their babies. Our vision is to promote healthy families by providing expectant moms with resources to give birth to their babies and move their lives forward in a positive direction. Gianna’s Place can answer your questions, provide housing, education and suggest resources to help you secure a bright future for you and our baby. Contact them (521-8440 or stgiannasplace@gmail.com).
