Death Penalty
Contact Your Elected Officials and Urge Them to Vote Against Efforts to Reinstate the Death Penalty in New Hampshire. New Hampshire lawmakers are currently considering several proposals to reinstate the death penalty in New Hampshire (HB 1130, HB 1413, HB 1737 and HB 1749). The Church teaches that we must work to abolish the death penalty because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of each human being. Whether an unborn child, a dying elderly person, or a prisoner on death row, the Church’s teaching is consistent and clear: we stand for the culture of life. Visit https://gc.nh.gov/house/members to contact your representatives and urge them to vote against any effort to reinstate New Hampshire’s death penalty. Visit www.catholicnh.org/deathpenalty for the latest information.

Diocesan Archives Seek Contributions
The Diocesan Archives wants your help! We have thousands of documents and photos pertaining to the history of the Diocese of Manchester - concerning our Bishops, Priests, Parishes, Schools, and people. We have documents going back to the nineteenth century; however, the concern today is that we are not always capturing current information that will be historical data in 10, 20, or 100 years from now.
If your parish, priest, or organization is doing something memorable, please provide the archives with documents or photos of the event. Examples of recent events that have been saved include the installation of new sanctuary furniture at St. Mark the Evangelist Church, as well as the installation of a statue of our Blessed Mother in the Holy Cross Cemetery in memory of members of local Knights of Columbus Councils.
For more information, please contact Dennis Pedley at dpedley@rcbm.org or 663-0190.
