Corpus Christi Parish

The renovations and improvements at St. John Church are moving along but the church will remain closed through this coming weekend (July 14/15). The Mass schedule at Notre Dame will stay at Saturday night 4:00 & 6:00PM and Sunday morning at 7:30, 9:00 & 10:30AM. We appreciate your support and understanding during the construction.

The long-admired artwork of Fr. Paul Plante is now available for purchase on a new website (www.paulplante.com) that serves as both a canvas of his immense talent and a tribute to his indelible legacy. The work of Fr. Plante, who died in June 2016, has been featured in art galleries around the country. His most famous work focuses on the eyes of songbirds, hawks, ducks, and other birds in 4 ½” x 4 ½” oil pastel paintings. The paintings reflect his fascination with birds, their spirit, and their furtive nature. His portfolio also includes fish, plums, apples, and more. The work is searchable by collection and category on the new website. Visitors to the site will also have the chance to explore a few of the many other contributions made by Fr. Plante during his life. One section features his homilies, while another is dedicated to his professional experiences and even includes the words of the artist himself. At the request of Fr. Plante, all proceeds will be given to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland to be used for diocesan needs. For more information, contact Fr. Daniel Greenleaf at daniel.greenleaf@portlanddiocese.org or Claire Levesque at clevesque845@gmail.com.
