Monday, April 6, 7:00 PMJoin us Monday, April 6th at 7:00 p.m. at St. Mary Church for a beautiful candlelit contemplative Holy Week prayer service known as ‘Tenebrae’, Latin for ‘Shadows’ or ‘Darkness’. Throughout the quiet service of scripture readings, psalms, and music, candles are gradually extinguished as we contemplate the coming darkness of the Crucifixion. We leave the church in total darkness and silence as we enter into the mysteries of the approaching Triduum.Read More

Even though we live in uncertain times, coming together virtually is one way that we can all stay connected.
The great Catholic Youth Ministers over at ProjectYM have put lots of time, energy and resources into organizing a live youth ministry presentation every Sunday night, starting on March 22nd, featuring some of the biggest speakers and worship leaders in the Catholic youth ministry world. These are people that we would have to spend lots of money to bring to the parish or travel to go see at a Catholic conference – and now we can listen and learn from them right in the comfort of our own homes for free!
Our parish is signed up to take part in the live stream, so all your teen needs to do is head to www.PROJECTYM.COM/WATCH every Sunday night a few minutes before 8pm. They will need a parent’s email address to enter the live stream. Parents are welcome and encouraged to watch along with their teens.
As a way for our parish Youth Ministry to stay connected and to chat with each other during the live broadcast on our reactions and questions, we have created a closed group chat on GroupMe. This chat is only for our youth ministry families, teens, youth ministers, and parish staff, so please do not share this link with anyone not affiliated with our youth ministry. You can find the link in the email that was sent to you last week or reach out to Gina Czerwinski at gina.czerwinski@portlanddiocese.org for the details.

Youth Ministry involves fun, food, friendship, prayer, catechesis, discussion and service. It is our hope that we can assist parents by providing support for our youth to grow in love, knowledge and service of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church.High School Youth Ministry (grades 9-12) and Middle School Youth Ministry (grades 6-8) meets separately but at the same location and time. Meetings are twice monthly Sunday evenings 6:00-8:00 PM at Sacred Heart Church Hall in Hallowell.
