PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING ANNOUCEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITH UPDATES FROM THE ARCHBISHOP AND INFORMATION REGARDING COVID-19.

Our Parish Office will remain open during regular business hours; however, to help prevent further spread of COVID-19, please call the parish office for any of your needs rather than coming into the office.
Office Hours: Tuesday – Friday 9:30am to 3:30pm

Video Mass Available 
For our parishioners, Father Justus will be offering a Video Mass every weekend so that we do not loss spiritual connection with everyone. The Mass will be celebrated by Father Justus himself. This Video Mass will help us keep Eucharistic union with the Lord and with one another as a parish. 

For Star of The Sea Brookings

Father Justus will be hearing confessions on Saturdays at Star of The Sea between 4:30pm and 5:15pm in St. Mary’s Room in the Church Hall. Please help each other by maintaining the professional distance that is requested by the government. There should be no more than 10 people at a time in the hall waiting area. We will set up 10 chairs for the confession line. If you come into the hall for confession and find all 10 chairs filled, please wait in your car until you see someone exit the hall. Father Justus might play Gregorian Chants to enable a good atmosphere for confession.
 
For St. Charles Gold Beach 

Father Justus will be hearing confessions on Wednesdays in Gold Beach from 11:30am to noon. Please help each other by maintaining the professional distance that is requested by the government and the Archdiocese.
 

Please continue to check the website for updates, primary source of communication. Sometime soon we hope to open the church for anyone to come and pray; but, at this time we cannot open the church for a few difference reasons. Currently we do not have enough volunteers to help clean and disinfect the church. Also, since the stores are quickly selling out of cleaning products, we do not have enough sanitizer and cleaning supplies to regularly clean the church and keep the church disinfected. As a result, it is currently not safe to open the church for our parishioners. But again, please continue to visit this page for updates.
 
Feel free to call the parish office with any questions you may have!
Father Justus will be available to set up phone appointments for short spiritual direction or spiritual talk.
 

My beloved brothers and Sisters of Star of the Sea Parish, and St. Charles Mission,

Peace of Christ!

With the recent fast spread of the Covid-19 Virus and directives from the government, His Excellency, Most Rev. Alexander K. Sample, our Archbishop of Portland in Oregon, has issued a Decree and another Dispensation in response to the Covid-19 Virus’ current situation in the United States. This will take effect March 17, 2020. With the recent development, the Archbishop has issued a decree for Mass cancellation and dispensation effectively March 17, 2020, through April 14, 2020, below.

It is quite obvious that this very difficult for all of us including the Archbishop, all priests, and all the faithful. Please, let’s express deeper faith at this most difficult time and walk with Jesus the Savior, and Our Blessed Mother, Virgin Mary. I will be communicating regularly through our parish websites and other necessary means.

Let’s trust in the power of God, and keep praying, for with God all things are possible!

Yours in Jesus the Savior,

Fr. Justus Alaeto

Pastor
