On Saturday, March 2, more than 60 gathered at Notre Dame du Perpetuel Secours Church in Waterville for the annual Maine Catholic Men's Conference. The theme for the 2024 conference was Eucharist to Life: Sharing Our Faith on the Journey and the featured speaker was Father Alejandro Lopez-Cardinale of the Archdiocese of Boston. Throughout the day, participants were able to engage in both structured and unstructured discussions to foster education, prayer and camaraderie.

A proposed bill to create new rights for “gender-affirming care” and “reproductive health care” in Maine law is a direct attack on the beauty and truth of human life as embodied in the natural reality of the human family. It is both unconstitutional and immoral.
