Diocese of Portland, ME Catholic Appeal Page
2022 Catholic AppealAs Catholics, we are called to not only live our faith for ourselves but in community with one another. A living faith is an active faith and one that follows the example Jesus set for us. It brings us together to celebrate the Eucharist, to share our gifts, and to lift others up so that they may discover the gifts they, too, have to offer.
One way that Catholics in Maine can help their faith come alive is by contributing to the annual Catholic Appeal. Each year, ministries supported by the appeal touch the lives of tens of thousands of people across the state, from newborns to seniors.
As a community of faith, we are called to be witnesses to the Gospel, changing individual hearts one at a time and transforming the communities where we
live. This is our work, the work of our Church, made possible through your support. Please look into your heart and step out in faith by prayerfully considering a gift in support of the 2022 Catholic Appeal. Thank you!
If you would like more information or need assistance, please contact Michael Jordan at (207) 321-7806.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I am grateful to all of you who came to my reception on July 31st; for all the well-wishes and gifts! Sixty years seems like a long time but, looking back, it doesn’t feel that long. There were eight of us ordained in Springfield in 1962 and I am the last one standing (somewhat). For 14 summers, you have welcomed me into your parish community for which I am also grateful. I still remember the first Sunday after retiring and being at Mass. Father Tom walked up the aisle and stopped at the pew I was in and said, “I’ve got work for you”… and I’ve been at it ever since! I’m very appreciative to him and to Father Fred for the warm welcome I have always received, as well as from all the members of the Holy Spirit Parish community.
I also thank all who served coffee and donuts and provided that beautiful cake!God bless you all! Msgr. Richard Sniezyk
The Centering Prayer groups meet at St. Martha Church every Wednesday at 10 AM and 3 PM for about 90 minutes each. Both meet in the Mary and Joseph room in Kennebunk. There is also a Zoom meeting on Thursdays at 6:30 PM. After 20 minutes of silent prayer, there is an alternating weekly sharing of Lectio Divina and the reflective reading of “The Mystery of Christ” by Fr. Thomas Keating (meditations on the current liturgical season). Upon conclusion of that segment, “The Spiritual Journey” video presentation by Fr. Keating will be offered. This will provide foundational information about centering prayer, the prayer of consent. Returning and new participants are welcome!
