Saint Andre Bessette

The Archbishop's Catholic Appeal (ACA) supports the Archdiocese's ministries in western Oregon - including pastoral ministries and care for the priesthood. Pastoral ministries spread the word of Jesus to all people in every step of their spiritual journey. Our ministers actively bring the love of God into people's lives by providing supportive care to those who are sick or suffering, people with disabilities, people who are deaf, and those in prison.
 
Parishes, ethnic vicariates and campus ministries throughout western Oregon also benefit from the ACA.

The ACA also provides for the Holy Orders by caring for retired priests, educating the next generation of priests, and supporting the permanent diaconate.
Donations can be made HERE. 

**IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT  REGARDING MASS SIGN-UPS**

As people are receiving the vaccine and are feeling better about leaving their “bubble”, and/or because it is Lent, more people are attending Mass. This is great!! However, with this happy development, I need to ask you to be more vigilant regarding calling in to the church to “reserve a spot”.

We are still very much in “pandemic mode”, so the pews will remain marked off to allow for social distancing and masks are still required. While I have been able to be flexible with folks showing up and NOT calling ahead, I do not want someone to come to the church and not be able to come in!!

**If you know that you will be attending EVERY WEEK, as we have been doing, I am happy to have you on the list “automatically”. Please just let me know your wishes on that regard.

If, however, for any reason know that your attendance will week by week, then I ask you to please call the church. Please leave a message on the office phone. Please do not leave a message for Mass on my private line as I might very well not see it until it is too late. When I arrive on Saturday afternoons, I always check the office phone for messages.

Please also note that the office is closed on Fridays (thank you, pandemic!), so if you call on Friday or after 3pm on Thursdays you will need to leave a message on the office phone.

I am grateful to God that more people are able and willing to attend the Mass in person, and while there has not been a “covid-capacity crisis” thus far, I am trying to avoid this from happening!!
