The Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon is pleased to announce an exciting and transformational new direction for Catholic education and Catholic schools in western Oregon. Our goal is to integrate our Catholic schools more deeply into the evangelizing mission of each parish and the wider archdiocesan Church. In pursuit of this goal, we welcome Elias Moo (eh-LEE-us MOE) as the Director of Catholic Education in the newly formed Office for the Mission of Catholic Education, effective January 2024.

Please Read the USCCB's Statement on Violence in the Holy Land: "As we pray urgently for peace, we recall especially all the families and individuals suffering from these events. We call on the faithful, and all people of good will to not grow weary and to continue to pray for peace in the land Our Lord, the Prince of Peace, called home."
