If there is no school due to weather in any of our school districts, which are: SAD 17, RSU 16, SAD 72 and SAD 61, there will be no daily morning Mass in ANY of our churches. This will help keep our priests, sacristans, musicians and all of our parishioners safe during inclement weather and keep them all from having to travel. We will do our best to post cancellations on our Facebook page (The Parishes of the Western Maine Lakes and Foothills) and on TV stations WCSH6, WMTW, and WGME, but please refer to the policy that if there is no school in any of our districts, daily Mass will be cancelled. Weekend and evening Mass cancellations will be posted on the above news channels and on our Facebook page. Office closures will also be posted on our Facebook page. Please be careful in the winter months!
