About IHM Chapel
In Richmond, New Hampshire, the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary have a multifaceted apostolate called Saint Benedict Center, with monastery, convent, chapel, and school.
In our chapel, only the traditional rites of the Church (according to the “extraordinary form”) are offered. Our resident priest has been granted faculties by the Bishop of Manchester to offer Mass and hear confessions.
The present Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel is too small to accommodate our expanding numbers.
The Brothers and Sisters have been working with excellent architects and engineers to design a proper sanctuary for Our Lady’s Heart — one that can accommodate more than 200 worshippers. And because building prices have plummeted, a respected New England contractor has given us a price tag of only $750,000 for this gem. That price tag is very reasonable, given the nature of the project; it is, after all, a church building!
We need your support to build it. Can you give a gift of $25, $50, $100, or even $1,000 for the glory of God’s majesty and the exultation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary? If so, you can donate now.
God bless, and Mary keep you.
The Angelic Choirs
In the new IHM Chapel, the Brothers and Sisters will memorialize our major gift donors with a large plaque at the entrance. Utilizing one of Saint Benedict Center’s cherished “memory items,” we will arrange your names according to the order of the heavenly hierarchy:
Seraphim: $100,000 or more
Cherubim: $50,000-$99,999
Thrones: $40,000-$49,999
Dominions: $30,000-$39,999
Virtues: $20,000-$29,999
Powers: $10,000-$19,999
Principalities: $5,000-$9,999
Archangels: $2,500-4,999
Angels: $1000-$2,499
In the name of the Queen of Angels, whose Immaculate Heart this chapel will honor, I am asking you to join the celestial choirs. In these days, when church closings are a sad reality for dioceses all across the nation, doesn’t it feel great to erect a new house of worship for the honor of God and the exaltation of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
