About

An Evangelizing Church Rooted in CHRIST

The Archdiocese of Portland exists to witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ by exercising His mission to teach, sanctify, and shepherd His people.

 From the coast to the Cascades, our local church is blessed by a rich cultural heritage - extending from farms and ranches to towns and city centers, serving 430,687 Catholics, who speak many different languages.
  
As a unified body of Christ, parishes will infuse the Catholic faithful of the Archdiocese with a keen sense of faith, hope, and purpose – all of which we believe can be truly found in a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, who offers a love that transforms and unites.
