Our Previous Partnerships
We’re thankful for every opportunity to share, learn, and grow in community.
7 Deadly Sins
Thanks to an introduction from Trailhead Coffee’s Charlie Wicker, Catholic Charities began a partnership with 7 Deadly Sins, a story-telling production company and show. They hosted two shows, with all ticket proceeds benefitting Kenton Women’s Village. Each show featured storytellers, artists, and even residents of Kenton Women’s Village.
Immigration Symposium
Catholic Charities partnered with Portland Center Stage to host an Immigration Symposium to discuss the impacts of deportation and the critical work around removal defense.
Theology of Migration
A deep conversation on why we do the work we do to serve immigrants and refugees. Linking our Catholic faith tradition and teachings with the needs of our world.
Homelessness and Housing
Small-group discussions about homelessness in Portland, and the critical work being done to serve those on the street. We’ve taken this conversation to parishes and corporate offices like our friends at Providence.
