“If we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Christ, alleluia.”

Romans 6:8
Dear Friends in Christ,

Just a couple things for your information today – and a few reminders below. Blessings.
 
Archbishop Sample
  • The Archbishop met with his priests via videoconference this morning to discuss with them a plan for re-opening Masses to the public. The plan will work in accord with the Governor’s directives and health officials’ guidelines. More information to come.
  • Tomorrow (Wednesday), please join Archbishop Sample for the rosary LIVE at Noon: facebook.com/archdpdx.
 
Back by Popular Demand
The video montage of our priests was a huge hit.   Attention Priests: please send us a short video (10-20 seconds) with a greeting or word of encouragement.   Use your phone or webcam. Low-tech preferred.   Send your short clip to Claudette Jerez at:  cjerez@archdpdx.org .  Please send a separate email confirming you have sent your clip, as some files may be too   large for email. If that is the case, we can help you use the free WeTransfer application.  We plan to create another video montage. Check out the original one here:  https://vimeo.com/409890975 .
 

In Christ,

Todd Cooper
Director of Special Ministries of the Archbishop
COVID-19 Pastoral Center Response, Core Team Chair
