4th Saturday Street Ministry to the Unsheltered

Every 4th Saturday we share love, socks, and clothing items, along with a hot breakfast and a sack lunch. Help serve our brothers and sisters in Christ and celebrate our common humanity. The guests we serve have “fallen through the cracks” and do not have the support needed to transition to a more stable existence. Therefore, they live a lonely life on the streets. Our guests look forward to the time we spend and the love we share. Sign up links for May, June and July Street Ministry dates are now available on the parish website. We will also be collecting used winter jackets, sweatshirts, and socks during our drive through events, or drop them off in Mercy Teams space in the parish hall.

Contact Michael Backus with questions at mercyteams@ollministry.com or call 503-708-9503.

May Diapers/Wipes Drive

Our Respect Life Committee is sponsoring a Diaper/Wipe Drive during the month of May. The most needed sizes of diapers are newborn, 4, 5 and 6 but all sizes will be gratefully accepted. There will be a crib outside the Parish Hall throughout the month for you to put the baby wipes and diapers. These will go to Mother and Child Education Center and Madonna's Center for Life to help mothers in need in the Metro area.
