2 The Pastor s Corner I m Fr Aaron Damboise, and I am a priest for the Diocese of Portland, son of Conrad Damboise and Jeannette (Doyon) Lasso. I am the oldest of three children. I was raised in Augusta, but am a native of Caribou. I am a graduate of Cony High School, Class of 1991, and a graduate of the University of Maine at Farmington, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Before entering the seminary, I worked as a Behavioral Specialist with children who had mental health issues and as a Case Worker for children with developmental disabilities. I attended St. John s Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts, where I received a Masters of Divinity. I was ordained to the priesthood at St Mary of the Assumption in Augusta in 2008 by the Most Reverend Richard J. Malone.

While there I served as the chaplain of numerous groups, including: St. Louis Ladies of Ste. Anne, the Holy Rosary and Santa Maria circles of the Daughters of Isabella, Knights of Columbus Northern Maine Council# 1753, and the Newman club of the University of Maine at Presque Isle. In 2009, I had the great honor of being recognized as the Council Chaplain of the Year by the Maine State Council of the Knights of Columbus. Currently, I serve as the Associate State Chaplain for the Maine State Council of the Knights of Columbus. I served as Parochial Vicar of Prince of Peace Parish in Lewiston from July of 2012 to June of this year. While there, I served as chaplain to the three Knights of Columbus Councils in the parish.

4 2015 Goal for St. Anthony Parish: $7, To date: $2, gifts % of goal 2015 Goal for Holy Family Parish: $6, To date: $7, gifts % of goal For those who would like to offer a pledge, envelopes are available at the entrance of our churches. Drop your envelope in the collection basket or mail it in. Thank you for your support and Sharing Your Light to support many ministries and people throughout the state of Maine. Thank you for your faithful stewardship and support for our parish communities this past year. A means of supporting our parish and its regular collections is through an electronic giving system called WeShare. WeShare is a secure web-based system that makes it easy and possible for parishioners who so choose to manage their church donations from the comfort of their own computer or mobile device. Donors can offer a donation to the parish from their checking or savings account, debit or major credit card and may set their donation to be dispersed either weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. For the first full year of the use of this system, there is no cost incurred by the parish. After a one year period, we will be charged a service fee for each transaction made. If the donor uses a bank transaction the parish will be charged 1% of the donation plus 10 cents. For example: for a gift of $10.00 made via a bank account, the processing fee for the parish would be 20 cents. For credit card transactions, the parish would be charged 2.25% plus the 10 cent fee, so for a $10.00 gift via credit card, that would be 32.5 cents. FMI, please speak with Bette or Lorraine in the parish office.
