This church was founded in 1889, and is the oldest Catholic diocese in Portland (the details of which can be found on the web site).

I drive by the church every day, though it is a little hard to see it through the freeway overpass.  Some of my first photos on Trover were of this structure.  It's really a gem, but you'll have to get here before 2pm on a weekday if you want to look inside.  That is the kind of discovery you can't hope to make at 1:57 pm and still get there in time.

Well, that will give me something to do the next time I come by.

Fantastic location! Quiet, clean and as described. While there’s parking onsite, which is very rare in this part of town, people who arrive late at night may find the parking full so will need to park on the street.
