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. https://stpatrickpdx.org

If you bring your dog, you can get in free! Godzilla is visiting the Peculiarium at the moment.
