Maine Parishes Announce Holy Week Live-Streaming Schedules: Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday, April 5, and continues through Easter Sunday, April 12. A list of livestreamed Masses and liturgies at Maine parishes during Holy Week is listed at portlanddiocese.org/HolyWeekLiveStreaming. This webpage will be updated frequently as additional parishes submit schedules and when changes are made to schedules.
Holy Saturday Candle Lighting and Prayer from Home. On Holy Saturday, April 11th, all are invited to join in an act of solidarity with one another and all people of good will at 7:30, the hour of the sunset, by standing outside their homes with a lit candle, flashlight, or other source of light. At that time, they are asked to offer a silent prayer and reflection for those in the world who have died from COVID-19, for the consolation of their families, and for the healing of our world and an end to the crisis.
Following the prayer and reflection, Easter Vigil Masses will be live-streamed from many Maine parishes at 8 p.m. (www.portlanddiocese.org/live-streamed-masses).
Catholics participating in this time of prayer are asked to “share the Light” by taking a picture and posting it to your social media pages as well as sending it to the diocese at [email protected].
