My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire you in heart. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you were already there, I embrace you and unite myself entirely to you; permit not that I should ever be separated from you. Amen.

St. Paul volunteers have hosted this weekly, free dinner for the Silverton community, for over 11 years! We have served over 200,000 dinners and have made a difference in so many lives. Seminarians from Mt. Angel Abbey, parishioners, and many other guests come to provide and share a meal with our fellow community members. Please come to experience all of the good, that this ministry brings. 

THIS IS CURRENTLY CANCELLED 

Every First Wednesday of the month, at 6pm at First Christian Church in Silverton. 

For a letter from our dinner volunteers, please see the last page of the 5/26/19 bulletin, found HERE

Church Opening & Mass Attendance

• Marion County has now entered Phase II which allowed us to increase Mass attendance capacity to 100.
• To attend any of our Masses, all parishioners  must register by: a) filling out the sign-up form in our parish website b) calling the parish office if you do not have access to internet, c) filling out the paper form attached and then scan and email it to jaker@stpaulsilverton.com or send it via mail. One of our staff will call you to let you know your designated Mass time. Please be reminded that while do our best to provide a safe space for everyone attending Mass and to minimize the spread of the coronavirus, those who come to the Masses attend so at their own risk.
• The general dispensation from the Sunday obligation still remains in place. So please don’t feel guilty if you are unable to come to Mass for whatever reason. Most of the Masses will still be live-streamed.
• Those vulnerable, at risk and otherwise concerned persons should stay home and not attend Mass. If you are sick or even show symptoms of being sick, then you definitely MUST stay home.
• Physicial distancing must be practiced at all times in the church (expect for those members of the same household).
• Mask or any face covering must be worn inside the church for Mass or for any gathering.

Mass Times

• Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday: 8am English & 6pm Spanish
• Thursday: 8am English
• Saturday Vigil: 5pm English & 7pm Spanish
• Sunday: 8am English, 10am English, 12:30pm Spanish, 5pm Spanish

When Coming to Mass

• Only use the doors to the narthex (coming from the parking lot) to enter the church. All other doors will be locked. After Mass, anyone can exit through any door.
• The use of face mask/covering is required.
• Please use the restroom one at a time.
• Observe physical distancing (6ft) at all times, except members of the same household.
• The collection basket will be at the back of the church where you can drop your offertory without touching the basket.
• During communion, there will only be a single line and physical distancing must be observed. Those who wish to receive communion on the hand are asked to be first in line and receive communion first.
