Bishop James Ruggieri will celebrate the Red Mass on Tuesday, October 20, at 5:30 p.m. in the chapel of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 307 Congress Street in Portland. A reception will follow.

On November 1, we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints.

On the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord, we celebrate the birth of Christ. It is the feast of the Incarnation, the feast of God becoming flesh. The Christmas season is a time to reflect on the gift of salvation that is born with him, including the fact that Christ was born to die for us.
