Welcome to St. Hedwig Parish, located in Manchester, New Hampshire.  My name is Fr. Eric Delisle and I serve as the Pastor of St. Hedwig.  If you are new to the area or are looking to become reacquainted with the Catholic faith, we welcome you to our parish.  Saint Hedwig was established in 1902 to serve the Polish and Lithuanian immigrants who came to Manchester, New Hampshire in search of a new life but to still live out the faith in the Polish culture that was so familiar to them.  We still maintain a Polish identity but peoples of all cultures and nationalities are welcome to join us for worship.  We are a small but faithful community, looking and hoping to grow for the future generations of our parish.  In addition to our weekend masses we also have Faith Formation sessions during the Fall and Spring to enrich and deepen our faith life and to know more about the goodness of God in our lives.  Just before Christmas, we still celebrate the traditional Polish Wigilia (Christmas Eve dinner) with hand made pierogis and other Polish delights.  Everyone looks forward to this celebration.  We also celebrate a Polish Fest in conjunction with Pulaski Day with a Polka Mass, Polish Food and Polka Dancing.  We always have fun.  We look forward for you to join us here at St. Hedwig.  Bȯg Zapłac i Witamy!
