​MASK UPDATE: The Governor announced last week that fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks or social distance in most public spaces, following a new guidance issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Effective immediately, churches in western Oregon can allow fully vaccinated people to attend Masses and faith gatherings without wearing masks or social distancing.
We will continue to keep every other pew roped off so that we maintain distance between those who are vaccinated and those who are not.
Reminder – If you become exposed to anyone with COVID-19 or become ill yourself please self quarantine. If you have any flu like symptoms please do not attend Mass.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FIRST COMMUNICANTS – The following students received their First Holy Communion this past weekend:  Jennifer Antonio-Luna; Kate, Allison and Grace Chastain; Wyatt Davidson; Addison, Lydia and Logan Gray; Claire McKillip; Clay Merten; Joseph Pohlschneider; Carly Wolf; Isabella Woodland.
