| Faith Cafe |
Faith Cafe is an ecumenical resource
which provides a hot Sunday dinner to anyone. St. Cecilia joins with
other parishes and faiths in this ministry. Together, we provide over
100 meals each week. Of equal importance, we feed our guests' hunger
for community and respect. Faith Cafe is an ever-graceful reminder
that we may see Jesus in every person, regardless of station in life. |

| Respect
Life Committee |
This group's mission is to foster the
deepest appreciation for the sanctity of human life through prayer,
education, and support of our community. We believe in the dignity
of each human life from conception to natural death, and embrace the
Gospel of Life as an all-encompassing pro-life message. Our primary
goal is to educate through bulletin inserts, guest speakers, and prayer
services. We also work with other pro-life groups including the
Knights of Columbus, Project Rachel (post-abortion healing ministry),
pregnancy resource centers, and Oregon Right to Life. This group is
for everyone who wants to become more informed and active in spreading the
pro-life message. |
