EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT AT ST. CATHERINE
My name is Brandon Manero and I am a member of Boy
Scout Troop 104 here at St.
Catherine’s I am doing my Eagle
Scout Project which is to work on the
sacristy here in the church. What I
would be doing is refinishing the
cabinets and drawers as well as
replacing the sink and countertop and adding a bookshelf. I
have estimated that the project will cost around 3,000
dollars. The majority of the cost would be to install a
granite countertop that would last for many years. If you
have any questions or would like to make a donation you
can contact me at either: 626-4624 or my
email:bmanero@comcast.net

St Catherine of Siena Parish, 207 Hemlock Street in
Manchester. Confessions will

special about this Feast of
Divine Mercy? It is the promise

and punishment for any soul
that would go to Confession and
then receive Jesus in Holy Communion on this very
special Feast. Many former fallen-away Catholics have
taken advantage of this great Feast of Mercy to get a brand
new start in life and to be totally prepared to stand before
the Lord. Call 622-4966 or visitwww.scsnh.com for more
