Eucharistic Congress

Mass on the Mountain will be held at Tumbledown Mountain on Byron Road.

Daily sessions will include presentations, Masses, exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Holy Hours, and the opportunity for spiritual direction or confession with Fr. Lane.

As part of the parish year of the National Eucharistic Revival, eucharistic adoration in regularly scheduled at over 60 Maine churches, from Kittery to Fort Kent.

The event, which carried the Eucharist across the city on Sunday, made an indelible impact on participants and observers alike as the Parish Year of the Eucharistic Revival began.

Corpus Christi Sunday eucharistic processions were held in Belfast, Camden, Cherryfield, Farmington, Gorham, Houlton, Jay, Millinocket, Old Town, Portland, Rockland, Rumford, South Portland, Washburn, and Yarmouth!

The shrine is located behind the rectory next to the church with two gatherings planned for the coming days: an outdoor Mass on Thursday, June 8, at 8:30 a.m. and a Mass and prayer service on Saturday, June 10, at 9:30 a.m. All are welcome.

Corpus Christi Sunday (June 11, 2023) launches the parish phase and there are many resources available to help local communities and individuals cooperate with the Holy Spirit and deepen our encounters with Jesus as we receive, adore, celebrate, and live the transformative power of his Real Presence.

The congress is part of the National Eucharistic Revival, a movement to restore understanding and devotion to the great mystery of faith and the source and summit of that faith: the Eucharist.

Registration is being done through the national organizing committee, and Bishop Deeley was able to reserve a limited number of discounted passes for purchase by Maine Catholics.
