In case you had to miss Mass this weekend...
|
Because so many were unable to attend Mass this weekend, the full audio of the 10:00am Mass is available here. We will continue to make the audio available each Sunday during the outbreak so that we can continue to pray as a community during this anxious time.

St. James Cathedral offers a ten-week “Welcome Back” program for Catholics out of touch with a Church that once may have been home. It’s a safe place to ask questions, learn about changes in the Church, and begin to experience a small community of faith. If you desire, we’ll help you return to the sacraments, and become an active part of this faith community.
The spring session begins Monday, April 20, 2020, and continues Mondays through June

Holy Ground #6: Blanchet a Bishop
|
Father F. N. Blanchet was certain of two things: that the Oregon country needed a bishop, and that he was not the right person for the job. In his view, the failure of the California missions was attributable to a lack of bishops (a questionable reading of history, at best!) and thus the Church would not thrive in Oregon without a resident bishop. In urging his case to Archbishop Signay of Quebec, Blanchet also made it clear that he did not consider himself a candidate. “I am already old,” he wrote (Blanchet was 44 at the time). “My powers diminish; I am slow at business and it is only by close application that I arrive at a knowledge of anything; I have a treacherous memory; my vigor is gone; I do not know English; I have never had a time to study due to the demands of the ministry where I have always been busy.”
