Do you know someone not baptized or baptized in a non-Catholic Christian tradition, who is thirsting for what it means to become Catholic? Do you know someone already Catholic but has not yet received Confirmation & Communion? They may be thirsting, too! The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a place to ask questions and seek understanding. Call Shelly in the Parish Office for more information. Sessions begin soon and will be on Mondays at 6:30pm at the Faith Formation Center, 10 Payne St. in Springvale.

The September baptism preparation class will be held on Saturday, September 11 from 11am-12pm at the Notre Dame Faith Formation Center in Springvale. If you're looking to have your baby or young child baptized, or if you're expecting and want to take the class ahead of time (before you're sleep deprived!) call the Parish Office to sign up. Babies are welcome in class!

From the Diocese of Portland: Throughout this week, the rates of transmission of COVD-19 through the state have increased. Today, 14 out of 16 counties are now considered to have “substantial” or “high” levels of transmission according to the CDC. In view of this danger to public health, the Diocese of Portland strongly recommends all persons wear masks in church. This is intended to apply to Mass and other gatherings in churches only. It does not apply to other kinds of parish activities elsewhere on parish property for the time being. Please continue to pray for all those suffering from the pandemic. Thank you for your efforts.
