PORTLAND – Lent, which begins Ash Wednesday (March 2) and ends on Holy Thursday (April 14), is a period of spiritual renewal that helps us prepare for the celebration of the Paschal mystery of Christ – that is, his passion, death, and resurrection.

This March, Healthy Living for ME joins in recognizing March as Brain Injury Awareness Month.

Listings of Ash Wednesday Masses scheduled for Catholic churches in Maine are now available on the Diocese of Portland’s website.
