40 Cans for Lent - We did it!

Thank you to all who have donated to the food drive this Lenten season! Our Parish and School community hit the 5,000 pound goal! We would still like to encourage you to bring a can or two with you when you come to Mass on Holy Thursday, Good Friday or the Easter Vigil. Your generous donations will feed the hungry across the Archdiocese. For more information and the list of needed items, read more. 

Hanging Basket Sale - OLL School Fundraiser

OLL School's annual Hanging Basket Sale is now until April 19. Hanging baskets make a wonderful Mother's Day gift or brighten up any porch! Baskets are 12" sun or shade mixed baskets from Al's Garden Center. Each basket is $35. For more information, view the flyer here. To order online, click here.
Update on Refugee Resettlement Ministry

We have an update on the current state of refugee resettlement. In summary, the March 6th Executive Order included a 120-day suspension on Refugee Resettlement, but the entire order is currently being challenged thanks to the judge in Hawaii. As a result, the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration has been increasing arrivals. The U.S. is currently receiving around 900 people each week. We here in Portland are expecting arrivals through April 20th, but could see more. That being said, we are welcoming about 25 people in the next couple weeks and have apartments to set up. At this time, we are asking for donations of the following: Lamps, End tables, Coffee tables, BEDS.

If you have any of these furniture items that you no longer need and would like to help furnish a home for refugee families, please contact Erika Peña at cherubs33@gmail.com. Thank you and God Bless!
Jesus and the Last Supper

Fr. Gregg Bronsema invites you to listen to this radio show's "Passover Special" where they interview Dr. Brant Pitre, author of Jesus and the Last Supper and Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist. Dr. Pitre looks at all four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and discusses his views on the chronology of the Passion.
