Servants of the Blessed Sacrament

We are raising funds for the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament in Waterville Maine in remembrance of Roland Gilbert.

The Servants of the Blessed Sacrament maintain a public chapel with the Blessed Sacrament adored continuously by the Sisters and the laity throughout the day. This is a welcome oasis for people who are seeking the Lord in times of joy or distress. In the presence of the risen Lord, they find strength for their lives. Community friends join the sisters in their enthusiasm to communicate the meaning of Eucharist in their lives. Communal celebrations of prayer are held regularly.

Their primary ministry is to maintain the public chapel of adoration, inviting lay people to commit themselves with the nuns to maintain the continuous adoration of the Blessed Sacrament exposed throughout the day. Other Eucharistic works are the distribution of altar breads to the diocese, talks on prayer and Eucharist given to adult and children's groups.

Roland Gilbert was a regular worshiper at the Waterville Chapel and lost his life to a long battle with cancer on December 15 2022. The Gilbert family would like to raise funds for the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament in remembrance of Roland.
