Brothers,
Please see the message below from the Oregon State Council:
During this time of pandemic, Churches around the world are either closed to the public or limit attendance. This also means that Parishioners are unable to come to Mass and put donations in the collection plate. As a result, many Parishes around the world are struggling financially. To resolve this situation, Knights of Columbus around the world are sponsoring drive-up events for Parishioners to give donations to their Parish or Archdiocese. The Knights of Columbus in Oregon have decided to "step into the breach" and sponsor one of these drive-up events as well to help the Catholic Church financially.
The Knights of Columbus state-level will hold an event on Saturday June 6th to collect donations for Parishes in the Archdiocese of Portland and we'll have 2 locations:
Cathedral in Portland from 9am to 1pm1716 NW Davis St, Portland, OR 97209
St. Matthews Parish in Hillsboro next to Knights Hall 12pm to 4pm.
475 SE 3rd Ave, Hillsboro, OR 97123
Members of the Knights of Columbus will set up a station at each location for anyone to drive-up and give donations. These donations will be given directly to the Archdiocese fund for Parishes in the Archdiocese in need. Donations can be made either by cash or check. We will also provide information on how to log in online and donate to the fund directly with a debit/credit card. We will have a receptacle to place donations into in order to minimize personal contact. Make checks payable to: "Archdiocese of Portland" and they will definitely be tax-deductible.
