A Falmouth-based group of churches has raised $9,000 to donate to Catholic Charities Maine, according to a release from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland.
The money, according to the statement, is a surplus from the Parish of the Holy Eucharist’s annual holiday fundraiser for local families and food pantries.

Local parishioners gave so much during the recent season that the parish’s Social Justice & Peace Commission had a surplus.
