• St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Westbrook invites the faithful to gather for a celebration of the canonization of the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint, while announcing plans for a chapel that will be dedicated to him. The celebration will be held on April 27, beginning at 2 p.m. at St. Anne Church, 299 Main Street in Gorham. The canonization will have taken place earlier that day in St. Peter’s Square in Rome, Italy (10:30 a.m. in Rome / 4:30 a.m. in Maine).

      The chapel that will be dedicated to Blessed Carlo is currently being renovated, and it is anticipated that it will be completed by the end of the year. In addition to new furnishings, the parish commissioned a local artist, Hope Drenning, to create a whole wall mural in honor of Blessed Carlo, pictured here.
