Purchase of new church moves forward Our Lady of La Vang Parish took occupancy of New Hope Church in Happy Valley June 1 and expects to begin holding Masses there after renovations are complete. The Vietnamese-language church is the largest par- ish in the Archdiocese of Portland with more than 5,000 members attending nine Masses on any given Sunday. Neighborhood parking constraints and overflowing children’s religious education classes pushed the par- ish’s leaders to decide the community had outgrown its current campus in Northeast Portland. The new 124,000-square-foot facility and 11.3 acre campus will better accommodate the growing Viet- namese community, said Father Ansgar Pham, pastor of Our Lady of La Vang. “The New Hope Church campus becoming avail- able was truly a godsend,” said Archbishop Alexander Sample. “Father Pham and the good people of Our Lady of La Vang really stepped up to make this happen. They deserve a wonderful place like this to call home.” New Hope’s executive pastor, Paul LeFeber, said his community was pleased to sell to another church. “The crosses will remain on the property, which is more than we could have hoped for.” Ice Husband records Mass among a sea of smiling faces at St. Anthony Parish in Waldport. (Courtesy Lisa Hoffman) Rev. LeFeber said it made good economic, environ- mental and community sense for the church to change hands and continue as an iconic property. “The top four things Our Lady of La Vang Parish looked for in searching for a new place of worship: bigger church, parish hall, spacious parking lot, and Parish answers call lots of suitable classrooms for children to learn the catechism and Vietnamese language,” said Father WALDPORT — When God called our steps, and we know he gives us necessary and edits out wait time Pham. “It is truly God’s providence that our paths St. Anthony Parish in Waldport, the strength and faith by grace to as social distancing guidelines are have crossed because here at New Hope Church, our the people answered, “Here we are carry on and do his will,” recalled followed.

But the idea of paying contributions and building up social rights represents a solidarity system in line with Catholic social teaching.” Verhaeghe said poverty among working families had risen sharply in Europe, where not all countries had a legal minimum pay structure. He added that a universal basic wage should be distinguished from the centuries-old ideal of an automatic state income for all citizens, which raises more complex issues. In an April 12 letter to social movements and or- ganized groups of casual laborers, Pope Francis sug- gested a universal basic wage. Burundi elections decried VATICAN CITY (CNA) — The Catholic bishops of Burundi have denounced last month’s elections. “We deplore many irregularities with regard to the freedom and transparency of the electoral process as well as fairness in the treatment of certain candidates and voters,” said Bishop Joachim Ntahondereye of Muyinga, head of the nation’s bishops’ conference. According to the government, Evariste Ndayishi- miye, former secretary-general of the country’s ruling party, received almost 69% of the votes, more than double the opposition’s leader, Agathon Rwasa. The bishops have been outspoken before. In 2019, Children are seen in a poor section of Manaus, , May 19.
