Accordingly, under the direction of the Right Reverend Edward A. Clark who had succeeded the Right Reverend Jeremiah S. Buckley as rector in , the community hall, located over the Hampton Beach Fire Department, was procured for the purpose of celebrating Sunday Masses.
This arrangement was followed for several years with the priests coming from St. Joseph Cathedral in Manchester.
In construction was commenced on a chapel which was to be attached to St. Patrick's Church. Dedicated in August of , this chapel not only increased the summer seating capacity of the church to 1,, but in as much as it was equipped with a heating system it became the place of worship for residents during the winter.
This arrangement served with decreasing satisfaction until when the Hampton population had reached proportions requiring more spacious quarters.
Accordingly, in the summer of , construction began on the Church of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal; a structure of New Hampshire red brick and of colonial design. The church, designed to harmonize with the other public buildings of the town, was completed in December of In January , the reverend Matthew J. The early days were not without their difficulties. The rectories were temporary and at some distance from the church.
Funds had to be raised that the debt might be paid and the parish complex completed. Although he was alone as a priest, Father Casey was not alone as a person. They launched their projects in the original church hall. By the material building of the parish was complete.
As background for the church, a permanent rectory was added. The school opened in September of that year and became the most important adjunct of the church. The Bishop of Manchester, in the year , looked upon this community and its labor and found that it was good. In that year, he honored it. The honor was intended not only for Monsignor Casey, but also for the parish. During the ensuing years, Monsignor Casey felt that his work of administration was complete.
In he retired. Dennis L. O'Leary - Rev. James P. Watson - Rev. Gerard A. Boucher - Rev. George E. Ham present. During the past ten years the parish has experienced a more rapid period of growth than at any other time since its founding in Under Father Ham's leadership, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish has become a vibrant physical and spiritual community consisting of approximately 8, parishioners.
Matthew J. Casey, native of Portsmouth, came from Lincoln, NH to become the first pastor. Vincent de Paul Society was established with the subsequent erection of a new building for its food pantry and thrift shop. As many of you know, the celebration of our fiftieth anniversary began with the Christmas midnight Mass, commemorating the first Mass celebrated in Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church at Christmas midnight in During the past nine months we have celebrated with a dinner dance, a pilgrimage to the shrine of St.
Today marks the end of our celebration as we join Bishop John B. McCormack in commemorating the dedication of our church by Bishop Matthew F. Brady on October 2, As we give thanks to God for these fifty years of parish life and the tremendous growth that has taken place among the Catholic community of the Hampton area, we are particularly indebted to the many priests, religious, and laity, who have done so much to build up the kingdom of God in this community.
Our celebration today is dedicated to the memory of Msgr. The medal is also worn by those looking to draw closer to their faith or those experiencing hard times in their personal life. Obviously, the Virgin Mary dates back several centuries. In each vision, she saw the Blessed Mother presented to her as standing inside an oval frame with an inscription around the frame that said, "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
The nun's repeated visions also showed her that some of the rays of light were not touching the globe like the rest. When she asked Mary about these rays, she reportedly answered the nun by saying, "Those are the graces for which people forget to ask.
The nun was observed for two years and when her visions were deemed valid by the church, the request to create the miraculous medal was finally granted. Today, these medals are worn by millions of Christians around the world to show their faith and connection to the Blessed Mother. The front of the miraculous medal always depicts the Virgin Mary.
The back of medal features an M, surmounted by a cross, with two hearts and 12 stars. The "M" is an abbreviation for "Mary". The cross represents the sacrifice of Jesus. The two hearts are for the immaculate heart of the Virgin Mary and for the sacred heart of Jesus. The 12 stars symbolize the 12 apostles.
Some Catholics ascribe another meaning to the 12 stars, from the Book of Revelation "a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars.
