Welcoming and inclusive of all people with a positive attitude interpretation of the gospel.

The parishioners were very welcoming, the sermon was very liberal (very Portland)

I love this church. I've never felt this connected to my faith. All are welcome!

Probably the current clergy members as well as church members are very fine persons these days, but my childhood here in the 1960's was very bad and very damaging for me. There was out of control fights on the playground that the nuns seemed powerless to control, while they would hand out punishments for simple things such as any talking during lunch. After students would study they were not even allowed to talk to a friend in a police state setup of "table monitors". If all of this abuse wasn't enough, I was kept after school for no reason whatsoever one day and then physically assaulted by the nun by being hit in the face. I told my mother and about this and another student observed a red injury spot on my face, but was threatened by this teacher and pulled out of church and forced to claim that "I lied" about the incident, even though I told the truth. Hitting me was a further sign that this nun was behaving in a bizarre manner, but especially the Mother Superior wanted to hear nothing of this and defended her conduct. My mother soon removed me from this school where I was immediately treated much better and my schooling much more positive. And, the bizarre behavior of this nun was vindicated for me when she suddenly died a few weeks after I left of an undiagnosed brain tumor which seemed to explain her outlandish behavior. The years of abusive and sadistic acts by the nuns and all of the violence at this school did nothing positive for me, only leaving me with a lifetime of resentment. My life was partially ruined by the years I spent here. But, I haven't lost faith in God, but only in some who hide behind the faith.

No chance to give a zero on the rating scale. This "Catholic church" is anything but. With this group you will find a practice of "convenience Catholicism". Where God is molded to fit the life the congregation chooses to live. It's a church of popular decision. If you are a true Catholic, this is the last place you want to go to worship.
