Hall Trust Scholarships-Camp Bernadette and Camp Fatima
Bishop Libasci is providing Hall Trust Scholarships for children in the Diocese of Manchester to attend Camp Bernadette and Camp Fatima in 2025, made possible in accordance with the terms of a bequest to the Diocese.
Hall Trust Scholarships assist families in financial need. Nominated children must be Catholic and reside in New Hampshire. Pastors are encouraged to recommend young people from their parishes to attend a session at Camp Bernadette or Camp Fatima where they can have fun and grow in faith, confidence, and friendship.
Please find the 2025 Hall Trust Application here. It should be completed by each child’s parent or guardian and returned to you as pastor or your delegate. As pastor, you must include a letter of recommendation for each candidate.
Awarded scholarships are based upon available funding and prioritized by the level of need. Please send completed applications to Andrew Thibault at 32 Fatima Road, Gilmanton Ironworks, NH 03837, or scan and send a copy to andrew@bfcamp.com by April 1, 2025.

Jubilee of Hope and the Saints
Pilgrimage
With Fr. Michael Monette
November 13-18, 2025
Leaving and Returning from St. Kathryn Parish, Hudson, NH
What better way to celebrate this Holy Year than by making a local pilgrimage to the Saints, Blesseds, and Servants of God who make up the history of our nation. This six day, five night journey will combine faith and recreation as we visit and learn about those men and women in the Northeastern United States who have already been or who are on their way to being canonized as saints in the Church. The saints are truly living witnesses to hope in the power of God! As the Letter to the Hebrews states, "We are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses"(Heb. 12:1).
Join us this November as we seek their company and intercession and as we ask the Lord to be renewed as pilgrims of hope! For more information, visit https://stkathryns.org/skpilgrimage2025
