Parish History
On February 12, 1912, a new parish was created in Southeast Portland and placed in the care of the Paulist Fathers. This was the humble beginning of St. Philip Neri Catholic Church. In the early part of the 20th century, St. Philip Neri became the church home for East Portland Italian immigrants and their families. Many of these families dedicated funds and hard work to build the current church building. It was designed by famed architect Pietro Belluschi and dedicated October 1950. In celebration of our 100-year anniversary, the parish is planning a year-long series of events marking the founding of the parish and the Paulist Fathers presence in Portland. The celebration begins with Archbishop John Vlazny celebrating the 4:00pm Mass on Saturday, May 26, which is St. Philip Neris Feast Day and also Pentecost weekend. Since it is Pentecost everyone is encouraged to wear red. A reception will follow in Carvlin Hall.

Pastoral Council - - Vote Today! Act Tomorrow!

Parish communities grow through the grace of God which encourages those in the pew to be active in living the Gospel in their lives and spreading Gospel values through their example of good Christian living. The Parish Pastoral Council is one of many Parish groups that puts our mission into action. There are four slots open on the Parish Pastoral Council and this week and next you have an opportunity to fill it with one of the following active parishioners. Please take some time to read the candidate statements, pray and reflect over them and then, with the discernment of the Holy Spirit, help select members for a two-year term. But, your job does not end there, as a concerned parishioner we on the Council hope that you will share with us your ideas and lend us your hands as well as your hearts as we continue our journey into the second century of promoting unity through worship, education and service for the good of all of humanity. Voting takes place during the weekends of May 19-20. All registered parishioners who are 18 and older are encouraged to participate.

Fresh Flowers and Vegetables

Once again this year, St. Philip Neri Parish will collaborate with Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon and the Interfaith Food and Farms Partnership. We will welcome James and Lee Xiong on the first and third Sundays of the Month after the 8:30 and 10:30 Masses. They will sell flowers and some vegetables. We will begin on June 3 and go through September or as long as there is a harvest. James and Lee and the staff of the Food and Farms Partnership have found surveys helpful to see what folks want to purchase at the farm stand. To this end we will have some survey posters up in the foyer of Church the weekend of May 20. Members of the Peace and Justice Commission will be on hand to assist. Your support is appreciated. Have you been panhandled? When someone approaches you and asks for money it is not wise to pull out your wallet and give them money. The best thing to do is offer them a Sisters of the Road coupon. The coupon allows them to eat at the non-profit restaurant at 133 NW 6th between Couch and Davis. Each coupon is worth the entre of the day, a side dish, a drink. The person may refuse ----but you have offered them a good meal. Our parish office will be selling the coupons for $2.00 e ach on the first weekend of the month in the vestibule after all the Masses. Purchase whatever you need. The coupons can also be purchased in the parish office during the week.
