Annual Convocation of Priests

Along with Archbishop Alexander Sample, priests have gathered from across the Archdiocese of Portland for their annual Convocation meeting. In addition to prayer and Masses, our priests reviewed important logistical topics and enjoyed presentations about spirituality and ministry. 

The annual Convocation fosters community and brotherhood among priests, some of whom are stationed at remote parishes in small though welcoming towns and or serve as the only priest of multiple mission churches. The gathering includes Archdiocesan priests as well as priests in the many religious orders, offering an opportunity for exchange and collaboration across Western Oregon.
