St. Brendan the Navigator Parish is offering a program at two of our church locations this Fall as a guide for those exploring our Catholic Faith and/or who are just wondering about life’s deeper questions, such as “Why am I here?” What is the purpose of my life on this earth?” Does or could Christianity fit into my life experiences of death, sorrow, happiness, science and faith?”

This year we will be offering two options and locations for gatherings--on Tuesday evenings , 6:00pm at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Belfast and on Sunday afternoons at 3;30pm at St. Bernard in Rockland. We will be exploring the Catholic Faith with Symbolon, including discussion guided by a team of parishioner leaders to explore questions and insight raised from the episodes. If you know anyone interested in attending, please have them call the office, 207-236-4785.
