BATH
The Sacred Heart Eucharistic Adoration Chapel in Brunswick is organizing “Mary’s Day” at St. Mary Church on 144 Lincoln Street in Bath for May 13.
All are welcome to attend the celebration marking the 100th anniversary of the appearance of Mary to three young visionaries in the town of Fatima, Portugal, and honoring her message of peace.
The event will begin with a Mass and May “Crowning of Mary” procession starting at 9 a.m. Refreshments will be served after Mass. At 10:30 a.m. Dr. Joseph Ricciardi, a psychologist from Massachusetts who serves people with disabilities, will offer a presentation entitled “Blessing and Gift.” Dr. Ricciardi also coordinates eucharistic adoration at St. John the Evangelist Parish in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Following the presentation, there will be exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, benediction, and a recitation of the Rosary at 11:30 a.m.
