LEWISTON — Fr. Larry Richards makes two promises to anyone who attends part or all of his four-day mission in Lewiston.
“One, you will never be bored. And two, your life will be changed forever,” according to a news release from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland.
The mission is scheduled to take place at the Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul on 122 Ash St. in Lewiston, from Monday through Thursday, Nov. 8 to 11. The event will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. each night.
Homebound individuals who would like to participate should call the parish office at 207- 777-1200. All are welcome, including people of other faiths and no faith.
A nationally-known presenter, author, and TV and radio host, Richards has conducted hundreds of parish missions, conferences and retreats.
The themes for each day are:
Monday: Knowing God’s love and practical information on how to pray;
Tuesday: Love of others and the importance of family;
Wednesday: Passion of Christ and repentance with individual confessions; and
Thursday: A healing service in the context of adoration.
Ordained to the priesthood in 1989 for the Diocese of Erie, Pennsylvania, Richards speaks from his experiences as a pastor of an inner-city parish, a high school chaplain, and a counselor. His book “Be a Man! Becoming the Man God Created You to Be!” is a #1 best seller for Ignatius Press.
He is the host of The Reason for Our Hope and Open Line on EWTN and Changed Forever with Father Larry Richards on Relevant Radio. He is also the founder of the Reason for Our Hope Foundation.
