Lifelong Formation

Men from across the Diocese of Portland are invited to attend the Maine Catholic Men's conference, which will be held March 15, 2025, at the St. John's Community Center in Brunswick. This year's theme is Pilgrims of Hope in celebration of the Jubilee Year. Join Bishop James Ruggieri, our keynote speaker, as we explore how to increase our faith and to walk with others on our spiritual journey.

Making a pilgrimage to a Holy site during the Jubilee year grants a plenary indulgence, where one’s sentence in purgatory is completely erased! The Sacraments of Confession and the Eucharist must also occur, and prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father. Our parishioners have 3 options for pilgrimages this year! The first is March 15th where we will travel to Lewiston and visit the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul. We will receive a tour of the Basilica, then partake in the Sacrament of Confession and go to 4pm Mass. The cost is $17. All are welcome! See www.stthereseparishmaine.org/jubilee or www.stmatthewlimerick.org/jubliee for more information!

Bishop James Ruggieri will celebrate the annual Neophyte Mass on Sunday, May 31, at 4 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland.
