The Portland Peninsula & Island Parishes (Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Parish, Sacred Heart/St. Dominic Parish, St. Louis Parish, St. Peter Parish, all in Portland; and St. Christopher Parish on Peaks Island) have been participating in a month-long collection of non-perishable food items that will be blessed by the bishop at the Thanksgiving Day Mass and donated to support the continuing works of mercy at the Sacred Heart/St. Dominic Food Pantry and the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, both in Portland. For those who would like to donate to the collection but are unable to attend the Mass on Thanksgiving, checks can be sent to the parish office: Catholic Pastoral Center at Guild Hall, 307 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101. Please put “Thanksgiving Collection” in the memo line.
