I offer my blessing and prayers to the more than 1,600 catechumens and candidates across our Archdiocese who are preparing to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil.
As you continue your preparation to receive the sacraments, know that you are supported by your pastors and by the entire Catholic community of western Oregon. I ask all the faithful to deepen their prayer this Lenten season and to remember these men and women in a special way as they draw closer to new life in Christ.
