Silver & Gold Anniversary Mass Celebrated by Bishop Robert Deeley, June 23,

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church, Presque Isle

MEMORIAL DAY

"No one has greater love than this, to

lay down one's life for one's

friends." Christians are no

strangers to sacrifice. Jesus lays

down his life for our redemption,

martyrs remain faithful to the end,

and every believer faces "deaths" in the

spiritual life when love requires a

re-ordering of preference and priority.

On Memorial Day, we honor those who laid

down their lives for their nation and for the

values we espouse - freedom, justice, and a

better world for our children. In a day that

often fills with barbeques and boat launches,

remember to take some time in prayer!

Intercede for those who have died and for

the loved ones they left behind, and pray for

peace on earth.

Bishop Robert Deeley will celebrate a

Memorial Day Mass at 10 a.m. in the mausoleum chapel at

St. Peter's Cemetery in Lewiston.
