Lent is a season of reflection and repentance. Lent originated in the very earliest days of the Church as a preparatory time for Easter. By observing the forty days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus’ withdrawal into the wilderness for forty days.

Easter Sunday

Sunday. April 4, 2010
Easter is the most important annual religious feast in our liturgical year. Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day of his crucifixion.

Welcome!

    Verboort Catholic Church is nestled in the lush Willamette Valley, home of the famous Verboort Sausage Dinner. The tight-knit community is held strongly together by tradition, comradery, friendship and family  just as it was in 1875 when settled by Father Joseph Verboort.
