Our Church buildings are an important part of our lives and our communities. Each Church building is a reminder of God’s presence in our world and in our lives. These same buildings are a silent invitation to prayer and not just at the weekend liturgy but every day. I also know that any damage or disrespect shown to the important building evokes strong emotions from us and rightly so. I am sure you are aware of what has happened in neighboring communities here in Aroostook County. All of us need to be concerned, not just about damage done to our churches but also protecting the integrity of the Blessed Sacrament. [CLICK FOR THE REST!]

The season of Advent is a time of preparation for the celebration of Our Lord's birth. It is a time to celebrate the way in which the Lord comes into our every day, and it is a time to look forward in hope to the second coming of Jesus in his glory. Advent, like Lent is also a time of heightened prayer, penance and preparation so that we may be truly ready for the Lord's coming...

In 2020, Pope Francis called for a renewal of the global celebration of young people in the local churches in every diocese & eparchy on Christ the King Sunday. As the Church prepares for these gatherings, the Holy Father has given a 2-year guide to mark the journey, under the theme of hope, a virtue that the world needs & that shines forth, particularly in young people. The themes should be seen as 1 unit that emerged from Prope Francis' "Christus Vivit" & his call to infuse the Church's ministries with young people with a vocational perspective that compels us to put faith into action.
