What s That Construction Outside? The Holy Trinity Parish Christian Life Center If you are new to the parish, or visiting, perhaps you are wondering what the construction site is beside St. Matthew Church. We are building a place for Catholic growth of faith in the heart of central New Hampshire, the Holy Trinity Parish Christian Life Center! Here s what the center will provide. We ll all have easy access to restrooms, meeting spaces, and parish offices. We ll find the church open on weekdays to use for personal prayer outside of Mass. We'll have a dedicated, sacred space to celebrate Reconciliation. We'll meet in open, sunny spaces that we can quickly arrange to accommodate small and large gatherings. We'll have a new, spacious kitchen for preparing meals and serving bereavements, luncheons and receptions. If you would like to contribute or learn more information about this project, please ask Deacon Mike. The building sketches can be found in the back of the church. Campaign envelopes are in the pews.
