Welcome
As a Jesuit ministry of the Roman Catholic Church, we are animated by the spirit of St. Ignatius as we seek to live the Gospel message and respond as a welcoming parish. All are welcome here: long-time parishioners, new arrivals, those seeking a spiritual home, those who have been away, members of the LGBTQ+ community, new Mainers, immigrants, and those who may be separated or divorced. We are all God’s children. All welcome.
“We pray for those for whom home is no longer a safe place.”
Welcome!
A Welcome Message!

The Four Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Global Society of Jesus
Vital for our world today, these guide the work of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) through this decade and unite us in a common focus:
Showing the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and the practice of discernment;
Walking with the poor, the outcasts of the world, and those whose dignity has been violated, in the mission of reconciliation and justice;
Walking together with young people to build a hope-filled future;
Working together to care for the earth, our common home.
