Oremus
Learn the Essentials of a Fruitful Pray Life - An 8-part Video Series
Join us in the main church, starting February 23, on Thursdays at 10:30am or 7pm for this inspirational study on prayer.
Oremus teaches you the essentials of an effective and fruitful prayer life. Over eight weeks you will learn the simple, yet profound steps of Catholic prayer.
Following Church Tradition and the wisdom of the saints, you will learn to talk to God and hear His voice in scripture in your heart, and in ordinary moments. You will be become more aware of his close presence, will learn to overcome distractions and dryness, and will recognize desolation and consolation as normal prayer experiences. As you grow closer to God, you will also grow in your relationship with those around you.
Adult Faith Formation
Join us This Lent – Easter as we jump into THE DEFINITIVE STUDY OF JESUS CHRIST!
The marvelous treasures of the Catholic Faith— the Eucharist, Mary, the saints, and the Creed—are all centered on a single figure: Jesus Christ. Jesus is more than a historical or theological figure. He is our savior, our redeemer, our Lord, and our God. While many of us know a lot about him already, how well can we say that we really know him?
Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life is a new and fresh look at Jesus—who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, and what he did for our salvation. This encounter with Christ will inspire and empower you to center your entire life around him as you come to know and love him in an ever deeper and more intimate way.
March 1st – May 3rd we’ll be offering this 10-week study with sessions on Wednesdays at 10:30 am and 7:00 pm
Sign up in the gather space or email Cheri’ for the time that works best for you.
NOTE: You can also just show up on Mar 1st (but may have to wait on study set if not enough on-hand)

“Be Healed!” A Lenten Mission for Personal and Communal Healing
Saint Kathryn Parish invites you to join us for a Lenten Mission given by Sr. Briege McKenna, O.S.C. and Fr. Pablo Escriva de Romani on March 20th-23rd, 2023 in our church at 4 Dracut Road, Hudson, NH.
Sr. Briege entered the Sisters of St. Clare at age fifteen, suffered from chronic pain, and experienced a miraculous healing during the celebration of the Eucharist a few years later. She also received a deep spiritual insight into the mystery of the call to the priesthood and has been invited to speak at countless retreats and conferences ever since. Fr. Pablo speaks at retreats as a missionary to many countries, working with youth and giving spiritual exercises to priests. Sr. Briege and Fr. Pablo will be speaking about reconciliation, prayer, the Holy Spirit, the Eucharist, and the healing power of the Cross. We look forward to welcoming you as we take in the words of these two dynamic speakers.
No registration is required. A love offering will be collected at the Mass on Thursday evening. For more information, please click here.
