My initial thought was to visit every church in Portland. The idea was to see new places, meet new people -- sort of create an adventure out of going to church. Then I thought I'd just go to every church in my neighborhood. Both of those ideas were too ambitious. Since I am Catholic and required to attend Mass every Sunday, I thought I would just start with going to every Catholic church in Portland. If I finish, then we'll see...

St. Ignatius
St. Ignatius Catholic Church
St. Ignatius is run by the Society of Jesus (the "Jesuits") and is located on SE Powell Blvd., just east of SE 39th Avenue.
The St. Ignatius church building is fairly plain on the outside and even more humble on the inside. However, I found the service (10:30 am) to be warm and family-friendly. Perhaps because the priest conducted three baptisms today, there were many families with young children.
The parishioners are ethnically mixed, interestingly with a some African parishioners.
