Operation Ray of Light

The first meeting was held at the Windham Veterans Center on Wednesday May 17th, 6:30 to 8:00 PM.

This is the first open group to be offered outside of the VA in the southern Maine area in support of spouses of veterans who are dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. This will be an open group geared towards support, resources and honoring the role of the spouse and significant other and working to enhance the lives of their families. By developing connection we believe that for many, this opportunity will become a chance for potential healing, growth and hopefully empowerment. This group is open to Veterans spouses of all eras.....

Any questions you can instant message - President Jim Martel LCPC or call 207-233-1332.

Four Chaplains Observance

This event was sponsored on Sunday Feb. 5th, 2023, at St. Ann's church in Windham. In 1948 Congress designated the Sunday nearest to Feb. 3rd to be "The Four Chaplains Day". American Legion Posts throughout the country collaborate to celebrdate this event, which happened during World War 2, and is an everlasting example of heroism, comradship, and interdenominational faith. During the sinking of an Army troopship, 4 chaplains who were on board (two Protestant, one Jewish Rabbi, one Catholic) provided their lifejackets to four frightened soldiers. The chaplains and many others went down with the ship.

For 2024 we plan to work with additional area houses of worship to bring this important story to more people.
