<p>Our Lady of Lourds is celebrating it’s Centennial this year. The celebration began with a Mass on the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes on Feb 11.</p>
<p>As part of the Centennial Celebration a Family Picnic was held on May 16, with one of the activities being the Living Rosary. We utilized the NH State Council’s wooden rosary which is an impressive tool. We coordinated pick-up the rosary from Michael Pitaro in Bedford, and the rosary has been transferred to the new State Chairman, Jason Hamann.</p>
<p>The Family that Prays Together, Stays Together”; and in this case it was not just the parish family, but individual families within the parish. </p>
<p>The Living Rosary was performed with a group of over 40 parishioners of all ages, which allowed for just about one bead per person. One of the Knights led the rosary, assisting as needed at each bead with printed copies of the applicable prayers; or leading the prayer when one of the younger kids got ‘stage freight’ on their turn. Other Knights at the picnic were busy cooking and the St Josephs’ Sluggers were participating in a softball scrimmage.</p>
<p>Copies of “How to Pray the Rosary” were available for those interested.</p>
<p>Many had heard of a living Rosary but had never participated in one. Many of the older parishioners commented that it was a delight to see and hear the kids leading their respective prayer. Everyone appreciated it.</p>
<p>Photos are attached.</p>
<p>Respectfully Submitted,<br /> Jay Schaefer, Lecturer<br /> Council 11606</p> |

<p>The Bible Story of Joseph, from Genesis, was put to music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice and first performed in 1968; eventually making it way to Broadway 1982.</p>
<p>Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a story family, jealousy, dreams, and forgiveness, was recently performed at the Rochester Opera House in Rochester, NH.</p>
<p>As a date-night, several of the members of Council 11606 attended the performance with their spouse or ‘date’. As the organizer, I had three other non-Catholic Christian neighbors join us, making it an ecumenical activity as well.</p>
<p>In addition, several in attendance had never been to the Rochester Opera House, a gem in our backyard. The Rochester Opera House is housed inside the City Hall Building and has the only mechanically driven movable inclining floor system still in working order in the United States.</p>
<p>Date-nights are important to strengthen relationships and boost happiness. They build intimacy and communication, reduce stress, foster teamwork, and are fun.</p>
<p>The Knights who participated all agreed it was a very good thing. Everyone enjoyed themselves and feel we should do it again.</p>
<p>Respectfully Submitted,<br /> Jay Schaefer, Lecturer<br /> Council 11606</p> |

<p><strong>Elevator Service Program</strong>: Elderly Apartment Building on River Road, Manchester,NH had there elevator replaced which left the tenants having to climb the stairs with there groceries. After one of our members heard about this, decided to bring this up at one of our planning meetings on how can the Knights of Columbus help. Our council arranged to meet at the apartment building from 10:00am to 12:00 one day a week to carry the groceries on a 3 story building for the elderly tenants. Our service to this particular community ran for 5 weeks until the elevator was replaced. Once the elevator was replaced and project was completed, we unexpectedly, received several checks worth over $400 as a donation to our council, as a token of their appreciation. </p> |
