As a small boy I found love of God and a caring support group in my Catholic church. As I matured, however, I was taught that this loving care was reserved for members of my faith.
On Saturday, May 3, Spirit of Grace witnessed a long-awaited and deeply sacred moment: the ordination of Rev. Vinci Halbrook-Paterson to the Catholic priesthood. The sanctuary overflowed with love and anticipation—filled with family, friends, Catholic priests, Lutheran and Protestant clergy, and two bishops.

On February 23 we’ll celebrate one year of our Royalty Reparations Program, in which we collect offerings each time we sing a slave spiritual.
We had a wonderful time participating in Beaverton Pride in 2023, and we’ll be back again this year!
