Maine’s young Catholics are flocking to the church’s Latin Mass

In a haze of incense, as colored light filtered through stained glass windows, congregants filled the pews of Portland’s St. Joseph Oratory on a recent Sunday. The men and women, many besuited or veiled, smiled as a toddler’s voice rang out from the choir loft, his singing louder than anyone else’s. Like almost all of the rest of the hour-and-a-half service, the hymn was in Latin.

This Short Maine Coastal Trail Has Giant Stone Stairs And Spectacular November Ocean Views

A strip of dark rock about 200 million years old drops toward the sea in steps big enough for a giant. That’s not a figure of speech. Molten material once filled cracks in older rock, hardened into basalt, and slowly wore into a stone staircase. I had no idea a trail this short could pack so much drama. The full walk is only about half a mile round trip.

American Island Towns That Still Depend On Passenger Ferries For Everyday Life In 2026

When The Ferry Is Basically Your Highway For most Americans, missing the bus is annoying. In these communities, missing the ferry can mean missing your connection to groceries, appointments, work, school, supplies, or the mainland altogether. From tiny Maine fishing villages to remote Alaskan settlements, these 25 American island communities still rely heavily on boats in 2026. Could you handle planning everyday life around the ferry schedule? Factinate Ltd. #25. Peaks Island, Maine Island: Peaks Island | Ferry connection: Portland Peaks Island sits only a few miles from downtown Portland, yet residents can't simply drive across a bridge to get there. Casco Bay Lines provides year-round passenger and vehicle service, making the ferry a normal part of commuting and everyday errands. It carries far more than tourists, including residents, vehicles, freight, mail, and students. The trip may be short, but that stretch of Casco Bay creates a surprisingly different way of life. #24. Friday Harbor, Washington Island: San Juan Island | Ferry connection: Anacortes and neighboring islands Friday Harbor looks like a postcard-perfect waterfront vacation town, but its ferries perform a much less glamorous job: connecting island life to the rest of Washington. Washington State Ferries serves San Juan Island
