prodigalson Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Its true that the church has been weak up here for a while but its coming back in a big way. Especially in the Waterville/ central Maine Area. Fr. Paul Dumais is kicking our parish into High spiritual gear and taking no prisoners! Fr. Paul Labree is doing the same thing in the valley. Fr. Kevin Martin and Fr. Frank Murray and Fr. Dan Grenleaf and the Awesome Franciscans that come once a year for Journey Retreats are doing the same in the south. The Seminarians who are about to be ordained are also hungry for some evangelization and getting their hands dirty- top notch guys who know what it means to be CATHOLIC. Its time for young maine Catholics to stop griping and start acting- Renew the church...Renew Maine! Get some adoration going in your parish, work in the soup kitchen-EXPLORE YOUR OWN VOCATION!! Remember it is our duty to offer our lives to God firstly! We have adoration everyday in Waterville with the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament- I have been starting some ground work for even getting an hour of "Youth" adoration- perhaps a little music or something to bring community among our Young catholics! (P.S. Anyone in the waterville area give me a hint if this interests you because if it works out I dont want it to fall flat on its face!) The Church is in need of good holy people Men AND Women, it may seem like the church is sick and meager but WE are the Remedy! "MY DEAR YOUNG PEOPLE THE CHURCH NEEDS SAINTS....MY DEAR YOUNG PEOPLE THE CHURCH LOOKS TO YOU WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE" JP II THE GREAT!
Ash Wednesday Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I keep thinking this thread reads "Mariners report here" ... as in the Seattle Mariners.

Era Might Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Three degrees of separation from Maine to Seattle: Stephen King wrote a book called "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon", named, of course, after Red Sox pitcher Tom Gordon. [img]http://images.bestwebbuys.com/muze/books/03/0783886403.jpg[/img] Gordon was teamates with Heathcliff Slocumb during the 1996-1997 season in Boston.

And that's your three degrees of separation between Maine and Seattle. Edited March 25, 2006 by Era Might
Tindomiel Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I just made out a library card for someone named Tom Gordon...........
