Sen. Daughtry welcomes Rev. Francesco Marshall to the Maine Senate

Posted: February 22, 2024 | Senator Daughtry

AUGUSTA ­­— On Thursday, Feb. 22, Sen. Mattie Daughtry, D-Brunswick, welcomed Rev. Francesco Marshall of First Parish Church, United Church of Christ in Brunswick to the Senate Chamber. Rev. Marshall gave the Opening Prayer.

“Today, I was very happy to meet and welcome another faith leader from the district,” said Sen. Daughtry. “Rev. Marshall delivered an excellent prayer, providing some inspiration and wisdom in the Senate Chamber. I am grateful for his service to his congregation, our community, and the people of Maine.”

On session days, faith leaders deliver a brief inspirational message to guide lawmakers through their deliberations for the day. Out of respect for the diversity in the Senate Chamber, the Senate Secretary’s Office asks that these invocations are non-secular and non-political.

To sign up to give the Opening Prayer, contact Alex Ferguson at (207) 287-1540 or Alex.Ferguson@legislature.maine.gov.
