OUR MISSION:
As members of the Catholic Church, with its universal mission to bring all peoples together in the love of God and one another, we are called to connections that transcend boundaries of nation, culture and race.
For St. Michael and St. Mary parishioners, this call has led us to the Dominican Republic, where we work with our Catholic neighbors (St. Matthew's in Windham) under the guidance of a missionary priest to help build up the community and the Church in remote mountain regions.
In August of 2021, our mission brought improvements and repairs to the aqueduct at La Adventura School with additional aqueduct projects in La Higuera.
For more information on recent trips or to share interest in attending in the future, please contact David Johnston (dpjohn22@comcast.net, 603-773-5011). -
