Good Afternoon Parish Families,
In light of the security alert for parishes from the Archdiocese of Portland, the Parish Councils have made a decision to have a presence around the premesis the weekend of October 9,10,11. The security alert is due to the notification by the FBI of possible vandalism at some parishes and schools by anarchist or Antifa groups around Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day, as some are proclaiming it a "Day of Rage" on social media.
There are sign-up sheets online for each parish for volunteers to be present on the premesis to protect our churches. The links are below.
Thank you for your care and concern for our churches. God bless you.
