How to Advent | Episode 1
Advent is only a few weeks away. Can you believe it? Join us over the next few weeks as we prepare for this season with "How to Advent."
The Story of Death | Eternal Rest | Episode 1
Where did death come from? What does death mean for the human person? Is it simply just part of life, or is it something else? In this first session, we discuss the story of death and God’s response to it: defeating death by dying and rising from the dead.
Saint Charles Borromeo: The Good Shepherd
As the Cardinal-nephew of Pope Pius IV, Saint Charles Borromeo was one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in all of Rome. Yet he chose the extraordinary challenge of reforming the enormous Archdiocese of Milan to the pampered life of a Renaissance prince, and willingly spent himself in the service of his flock.
As Christians, we are called to remember & pray for those who have gone before us, marked with the sign of faith. We warmly invite you & your family to join us for a special Commemoration of all the Faithfull Departed Mass at St. Louis Church in Fort Kent at 6:00 PM.
The 2026 Christmas Giving Tree Project has started, and the Giving Trees will be up in the churches on Saturday/Sunday, November 14/15. The gift return deadline is Sunday, December 6. We realize that finances are difficult for many this year and we understand if not everyone is able to participate. We always accept prayers!
What Catholics Believe About Halloween
Is Halloween really a pagan holiday—or is it deeply Christian? In this episode of What Catholics Believe, Dr. Ben Akers explains the Catholic roots of Halloween, its connection to All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, and how Catholics can celebrate it faithfully. Discover the history of trick-or-treating, the dangers of the occult, the meaning behind costumes, and even the Catholic perspective on vampires and zombies.
Eternal Rest
We all have very real questions about death. What happens when we die? What does Scripture teach about death? How do we prepare for the life to come? Explore the mystery of death, dying, and everlasting life through Eternal Rest, a new offering of the Augustine Institute.
Who is St. Jude? | Catholic Saints

We had a great turnout for our Blessing of the Animals on October 4. We thank Fr. Luc for officiating –this was his first Blessing of the Animals Ceremony! We also thank everyone who donated pet supplies for PAWS.
As you many know, we have just recently held our Annual Community Event Harvest Supper. And we would like to thank all of the many, many volunteers who helped us make this year a success! It takes a tremendous amount of time, effort, and community to make an event such as this possible.
Without you volunteers, who baked, cooked, cleaned, donated, hauled, organized, prepared, served and more, there would have been no supper. We could not possibly name all of you here but know that you are appreciated and remembered.
We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to you and pray that you know that you have helped us make our community a better place. May God bless you and all that you do.
Fr. Luc, SMA
This Sunday marks the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday, established by Pope Pius XI. Pope Leo XIV invites us to reflect on this year's theme: “One in Christ, united in mission.”...
