Worthy Brothers, Hosanna in the Highest!

    Yesterday, Palm Sunday, our Lord entered Jerusalem and we are now in Holy Week! On behalf of the NH State Council, I wish you and your families a deeply prayerful and reflective week as we all gather in our parishes, on this most Holy of weeks. May we all give of ourselves during this Triduum, as we remember what our Lord gave for our salvation, through his Passion, Crucifixion, Death and culminating with his Glorious Resurrection, on Easter Sunday. 

    As we move in to April, we ask those councils, who still have not remitted their Per Capita & Liability Insurance statements to please do so. Also, a reminder that our State Convention is now a little more than four weeks away. We hope to have a big turnout at the beautiful venue, at Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa, in Whitefield, NH. Please verify your delegates with State Secretary, Dave DeWorken and be sure to book your room before 4/1/26 and your meal package before 4/15/26. This information is listed on the state website.

    Lastly, a quick shout out on membership recruitment. As of this message, as a state we are 95 shy of our annual goal, with the final three months to go. Many thanks to the 13 councils who have met their goal, with another 10-12 councils only 2-3 new members shy of their goal. There are many of you who have drives or exemplifications scheduled for the next few weeks after Easter. Let's put our best foot forward and finish strong this year! 

Thank you for all your efforts, especially during this Lenten Season and for all that you do in your parishes and communities. You are truly sharing the Light and Love of the Lord to your neighbors.  Thanks be to God!

Vivat Jesus
