Living Water Catholic: new collaborative website replaces hfamesbury.com and hfamesbury.blogspot.com

Holy Family and Star of the Sea Parishes, the newly formed Amesbury - Salisbury Catholic Collaborative now which collaborative is to be known as Living Water Catholic, together are pleased to announce the launch of the new website for the collaborative - livingwatercatholic.org. 

Why Living Water Catholic? God our Creator has blessed the Amesbury and Salisbury communities with an abundance of water - lakes, ponds, rivers and the ocean. Water also has a religious and spiritual meaning. The two parish communities are bound together in faith born in the waters of baptism. When Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman at the well, he offers her the gift of living water.

All are invited to explore livingwatercatholic.org, an important tool for communication and the new evangelization for and in the two parishes.

Jesus  answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."   

John 4:10

The weekends of February 27-March 1 and March 6-8, over 200 junior high students and 225 high school and adult staff attended SNOWCAMPS at Camp Brookwoods in Alton, NH, where they learned that God wants to “See You at the Party”.  There were 25 campers and 30 staff members from Holy Family Parish and Star of the Sea Parish who participated in this fun filled, high energy, spiritual growth experience. This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of SNOWCAMPS! 

Thank you to all who supported us in prayer and financially.

The Heart of the Cross - a Passion Play

Photo by C. Leblanc

 The play brought to life the passion and spirit of Easter through the love, faith and triumph of five women who loved Jesus.

  The women in the play, all played by Actress Olivia Woodford of the Healing Theatre of Durham, NC, gave witness and recounted the events of Jesus’ death and resurrection. These extraordinary events were re-told with devotion, humor and great feeling: A young girl sneaks up the stairs to watch The Last Supper; Veronica watches Jesus carry the cross; Mary Magdalene watches Him die on the cross and later is at the tomb when He rises; Mother Mary cleanses and buries Him; and Martha wonders at the events of Pentecost.
