The children of St. Matthew Parish will be performing a Christmas pageant on Christmas Eve at St. Matthew Church in Limerick beginning at 5:45 p.m.

On the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord, we celebrate the birth of Christ. It is the feast of the Incarnation, the feast of God becoming flesh. The Christmas season is a time to reflect on the gift of salvation that is born with him, including the fact that Christ was born to die for us.

Bishop James Ruggieri will celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland.
