While Christmas is a time of rejoicing in the birth of Our Lord, it can also be a difficult time for those who have lost loved ones or are going to be away from family and friends. With that in mind, Our Lady of Hope Parish is holding its annual Blue Christmas service on Wednesday, December 17, at 6:30 p.m. at St. Pius X Church, 492 Ocean Avenue in Portland. The service, open to all, will include inspiring readings and hymns intended to bring gentle comfort and hope. https://portlanddiocese.org/event/blue-christmas-service-portland
