Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA): RCIA is a vital part of the journey for those adults who have been beckoned by the Father to follow Jesus, the Son, and to participate in the Church. RCIA serves as the specific process that adults follow to enter fully into communion with the Catholic church. We have just concluded the classes for 2011-2012 session. The RCIA program will resume in September of 2012 for the 2012-2013 session. To register, please call the parish office at 503.228.4397. Please go to the Education page for more details.

Fr. Chun’s Art of Cinema Series: An opportunity for spiritual, intellectual, social, and emotional enrichment! God Speaks to Us through the Art of Cinema: Grasping His Lessons. Every true artist is somehow inspired (breathed upon) by the Holy Spirit, the Creative Breath of God. Cinema as a fine art can expand the mind and heart. When the mind and heart expand, the soul expands.
