Celebrate Caregivers This Month
Spring is always a busy time of year for celebration. From first Communions to graduations, springtime offers plenty of opportunities to celebrate the people and things that are important to us.
Here at Catholic Medical Center (CMC), we celebrate and honor our caring and compassionate healthcare workers during National Nurses Week (May 6–12), National Hospital Week (May 12–18) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week (May 19–25). Additionally, we recognize and honor Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) during National CNA Week (June 13–19).
Catholic Charities New Hampshire provides a Faith in Action column in each issue of Parable as our Partner in Mission.
Faith in Action: Lifting Our Brothers and Sisters in Need Through Community Services
Catholic Charities New Hampshire (CCNH) is blessed to be a part of the New Hampshire Catholic Appeal (NHCA), currently underway across the Diocese. In addition to supporting a number of ministries important to the Diocese, gifts to the NHCA help support our Community Services program, one of our 10 core social services programs.
In case you are not familiar, CCNH Community Services embodies Christ's call to serve the least among us — those lost, in crisis, often with nowhere else to turn. They are individuals lacking sufficient income to make ends meet, families without adequate access to basic necessities and seniors unable to get by alone. For them, every day is a struggle.
They are those like Kay, grappling with her mother's recent death while her husband, Tom, battles end-stage renal disease. The emotional pain is compounded by the mounting expenses that have pushed their fixed budget to the breaking point, leaving them unable to pay their electric and heating bills.
