Easter Message From the Clergy of Cluster 21
Dear Parishioners,
The coronavirus has become a global health crisis that has disrupted the many facets of our lives. It has created an unprecedented disruption even in the way we worship. Public Masses, meetings, and other church events are suspended. This has been a struggle as we strive to persevere through feelings of confusion and anxiety at this time.
Though we cannot gather together as a community of faith in person, there are still many ways we can remain connected. Sunday Masses with the Bishop are available to be viewed online at 10:00am. Daily Masses are offered at 12:15 Monday-Friday by one of the priests of the Portland Peninsula and Island Parishes. We are continuing to add additional prayers and offerings.
The beauty of our Catholic faith is that there are so many beautiful ways to pray and be close to God. We encourage everyone while at home to read from Scripture, pray the rosary, reflect on the Stations of the Cross, pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, meditate on the Examen, and make an act of spiritual Communion with God. These are just some of the ways we can offer our prayers, petitions, and thanksgiving to God.
We remain present to help guide the faithful closer to God even though we cannot do that face to face. Please know of our continued prayers. We are prayerfully mindful of all those affected by the coronavirus, those in healthcare and first responders, and those who are unemployed or underemployed due to the pandemic. Jesus truly is the Divine Physician. May we trust in Him always.
God bless the parishioners of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception!
God bless the parishioners of St. Christopher Parish!
God bless the parishioners of St. Louis Parish!
God bless the parishioners of St. Peter Parish!
God bless the parishioners of Sacred Heart/St. Dominic Parish!
God bless the parishioners of Star of the Sea church!
May God bless you all now and always!
