Lifelong Formation

For those who have never been to Adoration or are not sure what it’s all about- we’ve got them covered! Both parishes will have an adult faith formation session: All About Adoration right before each adoration! In Sanford, on March 30th after the 10a Mass and in Limerick on April 6th after the 8a Mass. Parishioners can come and be made comfortable before they devote their time to spending time with Jesus. 

St. Anthony of Padua Parish will welcome Artie Boyle to St. Anne Church, 299 Main St. in Gorham, on Thursday, April 10, at 6 p.m. Artie was given six months to live, but God had other plans. Come hear his incredible testimony of healing, faith and hope. Don’t miss this opportunity for a life-changing experience.
 
In the year 1999, Artie was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) that spread to his lungs. The doctors gave him a less than 5% chance for survival. At the urging of two dear friends, he went to Medjugorje, Bosnia-Hercegovina, an apparition site of the Blessed Virgin Mary that began in 1981. It was in Medjugorje that Artie believes he was healed by Jesus through the intercession of Mary and by way of the sacrament of reconciliation and the power of forgiveness.
