Join us for an exciting new Bible Study -

Mark: The Gospel Through the

Eyes of Peter.

In Mark, an 18-session study, learn the compelling introduction to Christ, experiencing Him as a “worker of

mighty deeds” who expels demons, heals the sick and teaches that the Kingdom of God has not only arrived, but

is in power. Learn, through Peter, why Christ’s suffering was necessary.

Experience Mark as a fascinating, compelling study presented through the eyes of Peter, Christ’s original disciple.

You will hear the Lord’s call, understanding it like never before, just as those first disciples – empowering you to

spread the Good News as they did.

Join us as Dr. Michael Pakaluk sheds new light in discovering Mark’s Gospel verse-by-verse. Fr. Patrick

Winslow provides powerful and practical insights to living this Gospel. Learn to apply these teachings to your

own spiritual life. The full-color Study Guide includes a glossary of key words, beautiful sacred art and extensive

commentary to open up the meaning of the entire biblical text. Insightful questions and supplemental readings

from the Catechism, Church teachings and saints aid in reflection and life application.

Sessions will be begin on October 3rd through November 21st and will resume March 5, 2020 through May 14th

and will be held in the Marian Hall. We invite you to join us, even if you’ve never participated before. You’ll be

glad you did! Even if you are unable to attend all sessions, you can participate via Streaming Video.

Below is just one of the many CD titles available in our Lighthouse Media Collection:

Could God Love Someone Like Me?

Fr. Mike Schmitz, one of the leading presenters in the Church today, speaks powerfully about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. He makes clear the truth that Christ deeply loves and wants to encounter each of us as we are, with all our imperfections. Fr. Mike debunks the lies we often believe about not being good enough to approach Jesus, and he draws upon Scripture to explain rationally why we go to priests to encounter God’s mercy and forgiveness in Confession.

How To Pray the Holy Rosary The Rosary's rich simplicity has provided solace and courage in rocky times for centuries. Now, as new generations of Catholics face war, economic uncertainty, and moral upheaval, the Rosary is needed as much as ever. As interest in this beautiful devotion continues to rise, this pamphlet can be used as an introduction to, or reinforcement of, the power of the Rosary. This attractive and concise guide will instruct and inspire Catholics in the gentle rhythms and fervent hope of the Rosary.

We kindly ask for a donation of $5.00 per book (or otherwise specified suggested donation), $4.00 per CD (or 3 for $10.00), and $3.00 per booklet so that we may continue this program. Please make all checks out to “OLMM.” Won’t you reach out and help bring someone home?

September 25th through November 3, you are invited to join other parishes along the Seacoast

for the 2019 Fall 40 Days for Life Campaign! That’s 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end

to abortion. Please join us as we peacefully pray during this 40 day vigil on the sidewalk outside of the Joan G. Lovering

Center, 559 Portsmouth Ave., Greenland, NH. Vigil Hours are 7:00 am to 7:00 pm daily. 40 Days for Life is a worldwide

mobilization of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion. With God’s help here are the proven results since the first

coordinated 40 Days for Life Campaign in 2007: 16,004 babies saved from abortion, 191 abortion workers quit their

jobs, 104 abortion facilities closed! You’re invited to our Kick Off Rally 09/22/18 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM! If you’ve never

A few changes have been made to our weekly Eucharistic Adoration. It will still be held on Wednesday

after the 9:00AM Mass and will extend for 12 Hours to 9:30PM. We will be implementing a monthly sign

up in lieu of the yearly commitment which was previously in place.

A sign-up sheet will be available several weeks before the upcoming month.

All the hours need to have someone assigned to them or the Adoration will not be made available that month.

† This is a personal invitation to you from Jesus. † He is really there!

"Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love." “I myself am the living bread come down from heaven.” (Jn 6:35)

(Pope John Paul II, Dominicae Canae)

† You are greatly needed!

"The Church and the world have a great need of eucharistic adoration."(Pope John Paul II, Dominicae Cenae)

O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, All Praise and Thanksgiving are every moment Thine…

Please join in participating in this amazing experience… Spending time with our Lord, Jesus Christ…He is waiting to spend

time with you…
