Chalice Program
- Attention all families!
  
  We invite you to join us in praying for our priests and seminarians in the diocese of Portland. Each family can sign up to take a chalice to display in their home for a week. Over the course of the week, your family gathers each day to pray together for priests and to read about one of our local priest heroes, Fr. Gabriel Druillettes, known as the apostle to the Abenakis.
- Sign up!
  
  Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of Mass so that the priest knows you are present to receive the chalice.

- Suggestions
  
  We encourage you to gather as a family at some point each day during this week. For each day of the week there is a special intention, a prayer for priests from the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood (formerly on State Street in Portland), a story about Fr. Gabriel Druillettes, and a prayer for vocations.
  We recommend setting up a kind of shrine with the chalice for the week and gathering there for the prayers. The prayer for priests and the vocations prayer can be said together as a family. The story about Fr. Gabriel can be read aloud by a member of the family, preferably the father if possible.
  
  Please note, the chalice is just to be used as a visual and not as a drinking cup. Please handle it reverently and carefully.
  
  We thank you very much for your prayers!
- MANUAL
- how it works
  
  We need the sacraments to get to heaven, and we rely on our priests in order to have them. Since so much depends on their ministry, it is very important that we pray for our priests and that we pray that God send us more vocations.
  Sign up using the form to the left.
  We confirm your requested Mass date, time, and location to receive the chalice for our family week of prayer.
  The priest will call your family up to approach the altar before the final blessing to receive the chalice.
  Your family returns to your pew with the chalice for the final blessing.
  Your chalice will come with a manual that includes your daily prayers.
  Return the chalice to any sacristy in out parish at the end of the week.
  Encourage and support others to participate!
