Unfortunately the frequency of masses has declined due to the non availability of fathers to tend to their congregation. In the past much more cultural interaction with the members of the Penobscot Nation was practiced. Not so much any more. <br />Walt (Old Town, ME)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070700978821305274.post-26133018428915405732013-09-19T10:56:52.931-07:002013-09-19T10:56:52.931-07:00According to the website of the Catholic diocese o...According to the website of the Catholic diocese of Portland (http://www.portlanddiocese.org/info.php?info_id=44), St. Ann's on Indian Island is the oldest continuous site of Catholic worship in New England. The original church building dated to 1688 and was burned by the British in 1723. The currently-standing church was built in 1828-30.<br /><br />Liam in BangorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070700978821305274.post-61244848816922139742013-08-16T08:03:14.959-07:002013-08-16T08:03:14.959-07:00I read or heard somewhere that the British burned ...I read or heard somewhere that the British burned the church...Is that true?

I'm no expert on this subject but it's something I've read in several places and I found it interesting that this Maine church you're speaking of also served a native population.<br />Evelyn in MontrealEvelyn Yvonne Theriaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512331037467548666noreply@blogger.com
