Three healing prayer services are scheduled for churches in Lewiston and Brunswick in the coming weeks. All are welcome to all three.

Fr. Michael Sevigny will preside at healing services at Holy Family Church, 607 Sabattus St. in Lewiston, on Fridays, Feb. 24, and March 31. Both services will run 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Fr. Richard Rice will lead a healing service at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, March 26 at St. Charles Borromeo Church, 132 McKeen St. in Brunswick.

“We will pray that the Holy Spirit will meet the needs for healing and for personal holiness, said Rice.

Catholics believe that healing occurs during all Masses through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The theme of the entire Mass is healing, from the celebrant to the music to the participants to prayer teams, according to  news release from Dave Guthro, communications director with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland.

The theme of renewal is reflected in the liturgical prayers and Scripture readings, as well as in the music, which often consists of spirited praise and worship songs.

For more information about the Lewiston healing services, call 207-777-1200.
