CalendarNew! Community Calendar

The Diocese of Manchester has recently updated the event calendar on its Web site. The new community calendar now allows Catholic parishes, schools, and other Catholic institutions from New Hampshire to submit events. Events submitted will be reviewed prior to approval by the Office of Communication. Please note that only events hosted by recognized Catholic groups and parishes in the Diocese of Manchester will be approved. As it is a calendar for the entire diocese, we ask that events be of interest to a broad audience. Items like choir practice schedules or weekly prayer group meetings may be noteworthy to your parish but not to the entire diocese.

Click here to view the community calendar.

To submit an event, click on Add Event and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page.
 

Lay Ministry Formation ProgramsHelp us get the word out

Graduates of the Called to Servant Leadership Program are available to speak at your parish.

The diocesan Called to Servant Leadership program continues to be a great success with 73 graduates to date. A recent survey of graduates shows that 67% of respondents have been given more responsibility in parishes or Catholic schools since completing the program. 98% said they would recommend the program to others. The survey shows that participants learned about the program from brochures at the parishes and by pastor invitation. Pastors are encouraged to reach out to strong candidates in their parish to ask them to consider the Called to Servant Leadership program.
