This year’s REV retreat will be held at St. Joseph Church, 531 North Main Street in Brewer, on Saturday, March 29, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will feature several workshops aimed at helping young adults (high school and older) explore where God might be leading them, whether it is married life, single life, religious life, or the priesthood.
For those who have never been to adoration or are not sure what it’s all about- we’ve got them covered!

We approach our Lenten journey through prayerfully reminding ourselves of God’s love. Strengthened by this we confront the reality of sin and recognize our need for Christ, our Redeemer. The group will share some insights from the week’s prayer. The retreat will help us notice more deeply God’s presence and call to ongoing conversion and integrate daily prayer into our life by praying the Scriptures daily. The prayer exercises follow the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and the work of Fr. Joseph Tetlow, S.J.
The retreat consists of seven in-person group sessions on Sunday evenings from March 2 to April 13 (Palm Sunday). The sessions will begin at 7 PM and last about an hour in the Our Lady of Hope Parish Hall, 492 Ocean Ave. Portland (adjacent to St. Pius X Church)
Please contact the parish office (207) 797-7026 or [email protected] to sign up for the program. There is no fee for this program, but pre-registration is required by Feb 24.

Both parishes will have an adult faith formation session: All About Adoration right before each adoration! In Sanford, on March 30th after the 10a Mass and in Limerick on April 6th after the 8a Mass. Parishioners can come and be made comfortable before they devote their time to spending time with Jesus.
