What are the 2026 NHCA Areas of Support?

Community Services Program at Catholic Charities NH

The Community Services Program cares for the poor and vulnerable. It:

• Offers compassionate guidance and support to New Hampshire residents facing financial instability, housing challenges, and other urgent hardships.
• Helps individuals and families overcome immediate barriers and begin shifting the dynamics of their lives.
• Creates pathways out of poverty that lead to long-term stability and success.
• Is the only CCNH program supported by the NHCA, with CCNH fundraising year-round for its other 10 core programs.

Retired Clergy and Seminarians

Your NHCA gift supports retired clergy and forms future priests by:

• Keeping retired priests comfortable through essential support, including health care and income stipends.
• Honoring clergy who have devoted their lives to serving the Diocese, many of whom remain active in parishes and communities.
• Supporting the formation of future priests and permanent deacons.
• Providing for 11 seminarians currently in formation, covering tuition, room, and board.
• Ensuring ongoing formation for permanent deacons

Catholic Education and Evangelization

The NHCA helps proclaim the Gospel in our communities and schools. It:

• Strengthens Catholic education statewide.
• Supports youth and young adult ministries, including Totus Tuus and college campus ministry initiatives.
• Ensures faith is shared and celebrated within multicultural Diocesan populations and missionaries abroad.
• Contributes to evangelization and catechesis through support of Parable, a nationally recognized, award-winning Catholic magazine.

Parish Support

Parishes receive two key forms of support through gifts to the NHCA:

• The Parish to Parish Fund provides aid to parishes facing financial hardship for essentials such as staffing, fuel, and maintenance.
• The Parish Rebate Program gives parishes that meet their NHCA goal 90% of funds raised above their goal to support parish needs.
