Kateri Northwest Ministry Institute

The year 2020 has brought so many changes for everyone in so many facets of our lives. It has been no different for our Kateri meetings. After suspending the rest of our meetings in mid-March for the 2019-2020 year, we thought that the same would happen for the remainder of the calendar year. However, technology has come to the rescue. Seeing how successful using the Zoom platform can be to remain virtually connected to one another, we decided that it is worth a try rather than scrapping the rest of our meetings for the year.

On March 19 Oregon Governor Kate Brown issued stay-at-home orders in the state due to COVID-19

Due to covid-19 all of our students in the state were ordered to work from home.

One of the biggest hurdles in launching distance learning was finding a way to continue to provide fresh, nourishing breakfasts and lunches.

Our clergy, faculty and staff have used creative ways to stay connected with our students and parishioners.

That is when the Kateri Program came to an abrupt halt, as did the country, and eventually the rest of the world.
