Recognizing Excellence Awards Gala
The successes of our Catholic schools and their students would not be possible without the selfless support of our committed educators, administrators, clergy, and lay partners in the community. This year, we are holding our first annual Recognizing Excellence Awards Gala at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord on June 22, 2017. We hope you will consider joining us at this exciting event when we will officially honor our School Leader of the Year, Clergy Member of the Year, Community Partner of the Year and most especially our Teacher of the Year. Please read the award descriptions and use the links below to nominate someone you think deserves to receive this special recognition. The deadline to submit your nomination is March 17, 2017.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Catholic Schools Office at (603) 663-0140.
3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time "He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him." Peter, Andrew, James, and John's lives would never be the same. They were going about their usual business--fishing on the Sea of Galilee--when Jesus approached them and said, "Come after me." And that's just what they did. "At once they left their nets and followed him." Such a quick response to such a radical request!
What compelled these men to leave their livelihood to follow the Lord? His promise to them was that he would make them "fishers of men." Perhaps they thought that promise sounded fabulous. But it seems more likely that it was Christ himself who drew the men. There must have been something utterly attractive about him, and completely trustworthy. Otherwise, it seems unbelievable that these men would have been so quick to respond to his call.
This compelling man is the same Christ who calls us. We hear his voice in a different way, of course, through the Church and through the Bible, through his Spirit in our hearts, but it is nonetheless the same Jesus of Nazareth who asks us to follow him. Have we allowed ourselves to be drawn by his voice? Are we open to a real encounter with the Lord who changes lives?
If our relationship with Jesus does not transform us, if it does not change us into different, better people moment by moment and day by day, then chances are that we are not truly encountering him. He is too powerful to be inconsequential. It might take some courage and commitment to come into authentic contact with the Lord, but when we do, our lives will never be the same.
Adopt a Teen for Steubenville East! Please consider making a donation to the Steubenville East Youth Conference scholarship fund. The conference offers wonderful opportunities for our teens to deepen their faith life together with other Catholic teens from around the Northeast. We have 14 students and chaperones who are attending this year, several of whom are in need of financial assistance. Fund raising events are planned, but further assistance is needed. The cost for one student to attend is $230.00.
If you are able to help, please mail your donations to:
St. Aloysius of Gonzaga Parish
48 W. Hollis St. Nashua, NH 03060
or you can drop it by the Rectory Office.
Thank you for your help!

Soiree 2017
3er Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario El punto importante de este Evangelio es que el ministerio de Juan Bautista ha terminado. Con su arresto, la tradición de los profetas del Antiguo Testamento termina. Jesús entra, inaugurando una realidad nueva, llamando a Pedro, Andres y más adelante a Santiago y Juan hijos de Zebedeo. Ellos no dudaron en seguirlo, se convirtieron en sus discípulos para proclamar el Reino de Dios que Jesús anunciaba ahora. La humanidad ahora se mueve de la oscuridad a una gran luz. Nuevas enseñanzas, nuevas curaciones para todas clase de enfermedades. Llega una nueva vida con la presencia de Dios en el mundo por medio de su Hijo Jesús. ¿Qué podemos aprender nosotros de esta lectura del Evangelio? ¿A qué nos mueven las lecturas, qué sentimientos nos provocan?
Para vivir el misterio de Cristo en nuestra vida hay una clave y la podemos ver ahora. Todo encuentro con Jesucristo provoca una respuesta. El Evangelio de este domingo nos muestra la forma de cómo respondieron sus primeros discípulos. "Rápido y decididos". Enfocados en Jesús. Si, así, lo hicieron ellos pasando por todo durante la vida pública del Maestro. Y nosotros, ¿cómo lo hacemos ahora? El Evangelista Mateo acierta el cien por ciento al decir que la gran luz brillando en la oscuridad es Jesús. Creo que todos hemos vivido los momentos de tensión a través del país por la violencia de policías contra la comunidad y viceversa. Sin embargo dentro de todo el problema siempre existen personas que nos conducen a esa luz que es Dios. Jesús hizo y hace la misma invitación. "Conviértanse, porque ya está cerca el Reino de los cielos" (Mt 4, 17).

Oración por la Vida Oh María, aurora del mundo nuevo, Madre de todos los vivientes, a Ti confiamos la causa de la vida: mira Madre el número inmenso de niños a quienes se impide nacer, de pobres a quienes se hace difícil vivir, de hombres y mujeres víctimas de violencia inhumana, de ancianos y enfermos muertos a causa de la indiferencia o de una presunta piedad. Haz que quienes creen en tu hijo sepan anunciar con firmeza y amor a los hombres de nuestro tiempo el Evangelio de la vida. Alcánzales la gracia de acogerlo como don siempre nuevo, la alegría de celebrarlo con gratitud durante toda su existencia y la valentía de testimoniarlo con solícita constancia, para construir, junto con todos los hombres de buena voluntad, la civilización de la verdad y del amor, para alabanza y gloria de Dios Creado y amante de la vida. Amén
