Archbishop Alexander K. Sample has announced that the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon will participate in the worldwide Synod called for by Pope Francis. We will have another time of Adoration on Saturday, March 5, starting with Mass at 8:30 am (please notice change in the regular Saturday morning Mass time), then continue with a Holy Hour followed by our listening session. During the adoration time there will be some scripture passages read and a few questions to reflect upon. After adoration, there will be time to reflect upon and share the answers to the provided questions. The responses will be shared with the group and then compiled together and sent on to the Archdiocese where these responses will be combined with the responses from parishes all throughout the Archdiocese and then will be sent on to the Vatican. Please call the parish office to let them know that you will be attending on March 5. In order to participate in the listening sessions, you must participate in the holy hour starting at 9:00 am.
