How has your Lenten Journey been going? Have you kept your Lenten sacrifices? What have you learned or experienced since Lent began? We are all on a journey back to the Father. How have you experienced God's love? We're reliving our Lent Retreat as we enter the Easter Triduum. Here are some key things we too kfrom our Lent Retreat.

God is love—and He loves you first.

Lent isn’t about earning that love, but responding to it. When we truly encounter God’s love, it changes how we live: we begin to love others not just in words, but in action. Real charity isn’t about doing something big—it’s choosing the good of the person in front of you, offering dignity, presence, and care in the everyday moments.
You don’t have to fix everything. Just start with one.

This Sunday is Palm Sunday, commemorating Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem and the beginning of Holy Week. Together, we journey with Our Lord through His Passion, Death, and glorious Resurrection. Join Archbishop Sample and Bishop Smith for these solemn liturgies at the Cathedral.

⚠️We’re excited to announce our April Event! We’re hosting a Belong Members Happy Hour 🍻. This Happy Hour is a special event for Belong members only.

If you are not a current Belong Member, you can sign up for membership at any time. Plus, a Belong membership gives you free add addmission to any other paid chapter event!

Suppose you are not ready to register for Belong, not to worry! This is also a “Bring a Friend” event. Any current Belong Members can bring a friend as their guest. (Chapter Team Leaders are also Belong Members)

Join us at Lucky Labrador Beer Hall in NW Portland for a pizza and salad buffet. Come network with other young adults in the Portland Catholic Community.
