** Ever thought about what it takes to keep God's house & church
    going!?
From the care of the building to the care of His people:
Cleaning the church and hall, washing Linens, stockings kitchen supplies, caring for the plants (inside & outside), musicians and singers, altar servers, readers and Eucharistic Ministers, greeters, faith formation leaders (Catechists), fellowship after Masses and that's just naming a few.  Many of these tasks are done by volunteers, so THANK YOU!

We do have some areas in need right now...  
** Ministry - we are in Need of more Altar Servers, Readers and Extraordinary Ministers!!
Have you heard??   The cup of the Precious Blood is coming back.  It will make a single Mass debut on Holy Thursday (The Lord's Supper April 6th).   After that night, it will begin being offered at Daily Masses as of Mon. , April 10th and at the weekend Masses beginning Saturday, May 6th. 
**Hospitality - support with Fellowship after Mass (Set-up, Bakers and Clean up), or with Baptism and and funeral receptions
** CLOW (Children's Liturgy of the Word) - Adults willing to guide our youngsters (with materials and training provided); this is during the Mass
** Catechists - Adults to help with Faith Formation classes; this is between the Masses
Think about it!

Content is focused on children ages 4-8, although younger children with an adult are welcome.  Some older children may still find this of interest and are also welcome.  Parents are welcome to join their children for this free ministry.  No registration required, children are called forth just prior to the Liturgy of the word for the main assembly (first reading of Mass) and return after the prayers of the faithful.   We need help to get this Important ministry of the ground again.  Anyone interested in helping please contact Jill Russell-Morey 207-317-0383 OR  [email protected]

As we begin a new year in the church, we are also at the beginning of the 3 year Eucharistic Revival happening in the church.  This First Sunday of Advent we kicked off this revival in our parish with a special prayer that we will recite just before every Mass.  You'll find this prayer on the seats of the church when you come.   The Eucharistic Revival Prayer is below.
