A message from our bishop on the ordination of priests.

The diocese has partnered with Newman Connections to help connect high school seniors with Campus Ministry at their chosen college before they arrive in the fall. Students going into the military can also connect with the chaplain of their branch. We currently have connections available for campus ministries at the University of Maine Orono, Colby College, Bowdoin College, and Bates College with more to come.

The parish office will be closed for Memorial Day, May 26, 2025.

Through the miracle of the Eucharist, Jesus empowers us to be his living presence in the world. We are called to keep his memory by making his love alive in the world, journeying together as witnesses of faith and messengers of hope. The annual Catholic Appeal is an invitation for every Catholic family to answer this call with a generous heart. Every gift to the Catholic Appeal unifies our diocese as a missionary Church in carrying out the important work that Jesus calls us to live by ministering to those in need, supporting the spiritual growth of every member of our community, educating the next generation, supporting the ongoing formation of our priests, and the evangelization and stewardship of those we seek to serve and inspire throughout the diocese and beyond. We invite you to join the more than 9,000 donors who support the annual Catholic Appeal with a generous heart by making a gift today. Your support has an extraordinary impact on the life of the Church and its ability to touch, heal, serve, and bring hope to the thousands of lives in our diocese and across our state. If you would like more information or need assistance, please call 207-321-7814. [Click to give...]

On behalf of the faithful of the Diocese of Portland, I share with you the great joy of our Church at the election of Pope Leo XIV as our new Holy Father. As the successor of St. Peter, he now carries the sacred responsibility of shepherding the Church and leading us in the mission of proclaiming the Gospel and building up the Body of Christ. I invite all of us to pray for our new pope as he begins this important ministry, that the Holy Spirit may guide and strengthen him in his service to the Church and the world. -Bishop James T. Ruggieri
