On the first and third Wednesday evening of each month, individuals in need of guidance or support gather at Sacred Heart Church (326 Main Street in Yarmouth) at 7 p.m. for “Together With Alzheimer’s,” a safe place for those giving care to a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or another chronic disease, to speak candidly about the complexities of their roles and responsibilities. All are welcome at these free sessions.

Students at St. Brigid School in Portland will participate in a special three-day music residence with professional Gospel singer and The Voice contender Delvin Choice on January 23-25.
