  • Archdiocese Distributes Food Parish Reopening Decisions Vary
    June 5, 2020 150 YEARS OF NEWS FROM A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE CatholicSentinel.org VULNERABLE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Farmworker advocates, including a Catholic physician, step in to protect workers deemed ‘essential’ but who live in the shadows of society By Katie Scott OF THE CATHOLIC SENTINEL Kneeling on damp soil, a mask-clad Magdalena Galindo vigorously shakes a bundle of freshly uprooted greens, sending small pieces of earth into the air. Several weeks ago a fellow worker at the Willamette Valley farm became ill from COVID-19. “I’m worried about the virus,” said the 38-year-old before wrapping the cilantro stems in a barcode-bearing twist tie. “The mask is uncomfortable but makes me feel safer.” Oregon hasn’t yet had a widespread outbreak of the virus among farmworkers, but health experts and service organizations, including Catholic Charities of Oregon, report a growing number of confirmed cases and note that summer harvest is just underway. Agricultural workers often are housed in close living quarters and labor side by side in fields and orchards, Rolando Velasco sprays sanitizer in a bus that transports farmworkers at Siri and Son Farms in St. Paul. After pressure placing them in “a uniquely vulnerable situation,” said from advocacy groups, Oregon workplace safety regulators issued emergency rules to protect agricultural workers from Aaron Corvin, a spokesman for the state’s Occupational outbreaks ahead of peak harvest season.

We hit some very Sherwood significant numbers for membership but we need to keep up the excellent work. Membership is the life blood of our Order and we need to keep State Chaplain that in our thoughts. What is best about recruiting a new member is that he becomes more informed about our faith and a better Catholic. The Fr. Theo Lange Building the Domestic Church is one of our main goals and we can help Council 15595 achieve this through new members. If you find out what he is passionate Mt. Angel Abbey about and you work that into your Councils, you will have a member for life. State Deputy Sid Thiel At the time this is going to print, our 4th degree will be the Honor Imm. Past SD Guard at the Oregon Special Olympic Winter Games. Special Olympics is Robert Kish one of our main Charities in the KofC. We work at the Summer and Winter games but we need to do more. Look around your local city and county to see what they offer for Special Olympics Council 1785 and get involved. Every year Supreme sends a check to us to present to our State Special Corvallis Olympics and that amount is determined by our man hours and monetary donations, so the more we do the more we receive to give.

  • A Vision for the Future
    Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Portland A Vision for the Future atholic schools are a priority for the church. They are an effective means to fulfill the church’s mission for generations toC come. The Archdiocese of Portland has formed a strategic plan to provide a cohesive direction and vision that will be lived out within every Catholic school and the parishes that support them. Many of the Catholic schools within the archdiocese are healthy, continuing a strong tradition of excellent Catholic education. Catholic schools are producing graduates known for their excellent academic preparation, technological competencies, values and Catholic identity, and personal life skills. Schools embrace the Gospel message of serving others, both locally and globally. Students are guided to live as missionaries, capable and inspired to spread the Gospel and defend their faith. The strategic plan follows the organization of the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools (www.catholicschoolstandards.org), created in 2012 by the respective Schools of Education at Loyola University Chicago and Boston College. Executive Summary Spring 2018 Forming Missionary Disciples of Christ: A Strategic Plan for Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Portland A letter from Archbishop Alexander K. Sample Dear Friends in Christ, Praised be Jesus Christ! Almost two years ago, we initiated a process to form a strategic plan for Catholic school education in the Archdiocese of Portland. With this plan we hope to ensure our Catholic identity of forming missionary disciples of Christ among the emerging generation, to build and continue to strengthen our already excellent religious education and academic programs, and to be sure Catholic education is available and accessible today and for generations to come.

    Teacher Advisory Council 2020–2021 (Please note, due to the COVID shutdown in spring 2020, the Council did not accept new members. Current members had their terms extended to three years.) 2019 – 2022 Cohort Mimi AlSuhaimi was born in Portland, but grew up between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia until coming to the USA for college. She taught and created the Arabic language program at West Sylvan Middle School from 2011–2015. She then followed her calling to teach elementary and went on to teach Kindergarten and second grade at Beach Elementary in Portland Public Schools from 2015– 2018. She is currently taking some time away from her own classroom and supervising future ESOL and Reading teachers as they complete their endorsement programs at Lewis and Clark College and Portland State University. Mimi also spent June to August 2019 working at Portland Art Museum as a Teacher Leadership Fellow. During this time, she was able to create numerous student activities and teacher resources based around the museum’s permanent collection. Kirk Ellis moved to Portland from his hometown of San Diego in 1994 and remains deeply grateful for the conifer forests, the eastern plains and prairies, rolling grassland valleys, volcanic peaks, and watersheds of the Pacific Northwest bioregion. His love of – and involvement with – poetry, music, theater, outdoor education, yoga, contemplation, and literature has flourished here. He has been teaching for 18 years, and is currently a member of the English Department Faculty at St. Mary’s Academy in downtown Portland. He holds two Master’s degrees, one in English: Writing and another in Education.
