He is Risen! Alleluia! ✝️🌷

Today we celebrate the joy, hope, and victory of the Resurrection. Death is defeated, love has won, and new life is here!

May your hearts be filled with peace, your homes with joy, and your lives with the light of Christ this Easter season.

Happy Easter from all of us — we are so grateful to celebrate with our parish family! 💛

St. Croix Council # 149 also presented checks for $1,018 each to representatives from four area special education groups. Accepting the donations were: Tamara Clark from the Calais School Department, Charlene Woodruff from Baileyville School Department, Charity Williams from Princeton Elementary School and Troy Donovan from the Frank N. Beckett Center. The Knights collected the money for these donations during the annual Tootsie Roll Drive last fall.

We are looking for volunteers to help make Vacation Bible School 2026 a fun, faith-filled, and memorable week for the children of our parish! 🏴‍☠️✨

This year’s VBS theme is The Great Treasure Hunt, and it will take place July 13–16 from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM at Immaculate Conception Parish Hall in Calais.

There are lots of ways to help, and you do not need to be able to do everything! We need people to assist with crafts, games, snacks, music, decorations, leading small groups, welcoming families, helping things run smoothly behind the scenes, and more. Whether you love working directly with kids or would rather help in a quieter supporting role, there is a place for you.

VBS is always such a fun and meaningful week in the life of the parish, and volunteers make it all possible. If you have been thinking about getting more involved, this is a wonderful way to share your time and gifts.

If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up here:

And if you know a child who would like to attend, participant registration is open here:

Please help us spread the word, and prayerfully consider being part of this great week!

Happy Feast of St. Joseph! 🌟

Today, the Church celebrates St. Joseph, the faithful guardian of the Holy Family, patron of the universal Church, and a beautiful example of quiet strength, humility, and trust in God.

To mark this feast day, there will be an extra Mass today at Noon at St. Joseph’s in Eastport.

We hope you will join us as we honor St. Joseph and ask for his prayers for our parish, our families, and the whole Church.

St. Joseph, pray for us!

Lent is a beautiful time to pause, reflect, and return to the Lord in a special way through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confession is such a gift of our faith — a chance to bring our sins to the Lord, receive His mercy, and prepare our hearts more deeply for Easter. ✨

Next week, our parish will be participating in “The Light Is On For You,” with additional opportunities for confession throughout the week.

You can find the full confession schedule, along with our full Lenten schedule, here:
https://sktparish.org/lent-2026

Whether it has been a month, a year, or much longer, know that you are always welcome.

Holy Week is almost here, and now is a great time to look ahead and make plans to join us for these sacred days as we walk with Christ through His Passion, Death, and Resurrection. ✝️

We especially want to note that this year’s Easter Vigil will be longer than usual, as we joyfully welcome many people into the Church. It will be a beautiful and special night — but we also want everyone to be aware so they can plan accordingly.

You can find the full Holy Week schedule here:

We hope you will make time to join us during this most holy season.
