A Message from Fr. Francesco

Dear friends, I thought that would be good to write another little update. First of all, I want to thank all of you who so kindly sent us cards and gifts over the holidays. I was unable to personally thank you all, but they were greatly appreciated, and you have succeeded in making us feel very welcome here.

A few updates:
Our new speakers are now in and should have fixed many of the hearing difficulties that we had as a result of the central speakers being broken.

We are still actively looking into additional equipment to help the hearing impaired.

We have now hired a new music director and he will begin soon. He will meet with our musicians first and then with anyone interested in joining a choir and decide from there how best to proceed.

The Archdiocese has now published a document on gender identity theory. It a very well-written Catholic look at and response to the current gender question. I would recommend anyone interested to read it in English or Spanish at: https://archdpdx.org/gender

We have had repeated security issues. Please ensure that any door you open or unlock is closed and locked again afterwards. Please also do not leave valuables in your cars as we have had break-ins there as well.

I will try and keep you informed of any other updates here and in our bulletin. Again, if you want to send any feedback, you can write us at [email protected]. God bless.
