Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church

For those who are not yet able to join us in the church, the video of this Sunday's Mass will be posted to this website Sunday morning by 10:30 am.  Also, the 11 am Mass will be live-streamed to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/esio.43 if you want to watch the Mass live.

50 people can attend Holy Mass, but you MUST sign-up to come either through this website or by calling the Parish Office (503-775-6731) during business hours.  If you do not sign-up, you will have to give your name and phone number to the door monitor as you enter the church, and you might not be guaranteed a seat for one of the SUNDAY Masses.  Also, the door will no longer be locked when Mass begins, but if you enter late, the door monitor will still check your name off, or take down your contact information.

Please remember that if you are vulnerable, at-risk, or otherwise concerned about COVID-19, you should remain at home.  You can instead watch the video of the Mass, and join us when it is safe to do so.  Also, please do not come if you have even the slightest symptoms or feelings of sickness.

Note: when signing-up online, please enter both your first and last name and your phone number (not your e-mail address).  Also, please remember that, when you sign-up for a seat but do not come, you are depriving someone else of the opportunity to go to Mass.  Please be considerate of others.
