All Saints Catholic Church

Adoration:

Please note the adoration will now be from 3-5:50 on the first Friday of the month 

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has handed them on and put these teachings into practice by living as part of the Catholic community, serving others and praying. RCIA is for three groups of people:

Those who have never been baptized in any faith,
People who were baptized in another Christian faith, and
Baptized Catholics who have never received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

For more information please speak to a priest after Mass or call the parish office. We would love to help you on your journey to a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church.

As you may know we are starting a Hot Homemade Meal Delivery program here at All Saints Church called Take and Eat. 
We would like to know if you know anyone (yourselves included) who would benefit for getting a hot homemade meal once a month every first Saturday. 

There is no charge for the meal and there are no qualifications in getting the meal. Just asking for it is enough. 

Please call the rectory office  and give the name and address of the person or persons who would like to receive the meal. 

We will build this program based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ "I was hungry and you gave me food, a stranger and you welcomed me, ill and you cared for me."

The Christmas season is once again upon us, and along with it comes the Parish Giving Tree.

This year, Our Parish Giving Tree will have tags for Camp Sunshine from Casco, Maine
Isabella Quink - member of our parish and also a lector will talk about this organization on the weekend of December 1-2
The Parish Giving Tree Project will start on Saturday,
December 1 and ends on Sunday, December 23.
 Please place wrapped gifts under the Christmas tree.
Thank you, once again, for the generosity shown by all parishioners to help make the Christmas season a little brighter for those in need.
