Women's Ministries

The 2024 Women's Vicariate Retreat took place on Saturday, March 9th from 8:30am to 3:30pm with author and guest speaker, Mary Lenaburg. Mary Lenaburg is an acclaimed Catholic speaker and award-winning author of "Be Brave in the Scared" and "Be Bold in the Broken," renowned for her international keynotes and contributions in Catholic media. Alongside her 35-year joyful marriage and serving in various parish roles, Mary's journey through personal loss fuels her inspiring message of faith, resilience, and making the most of God's plan for us. The retreat was a huge success and beautiful day of sisterhood!


Women's Bible Study meets throughout the year on Wednesdays at 9:30 AM in the conference room inside the parish office. All women are welcome! Questions please call the parish office 503-769-2656.

Past sessions - We studied St. Pope John Paul II’s Letter to Women and discussed our vital roles as Christian women in the modern world. We have indispensable roles within the church, our family, society, and the world.


Advent/Winter - We studied Redemptoris Mater. In this 1987 encyclical, John Paul II reminds us that Mary is the greatest saint, and he explains why this is so. John Paul II calls her the “most excellent expression of the feminine genius.” Mary’s ‘yes’ to her role in God’s plan places her at the center of salvation history. This study helps women understand and appreciate the place Mary holds in the Church.


Lent - We studied Salvifici Doloris, On the Christian Meaning of Suffering, learning about one of humanity’s most vexing questions, how to make sense of suffering. In this 1984 apostolic letter, the Pope explains that it is only in Christ that we can hope to find meaning and purpose in our sufferings. As one intimately identified with the sick and the suffering, John Paul II knows and discusses with us the various ways we experience this painful human condition.
