Catholic church building
celebrates 50 years
By Kay Proctor
Plans are underway
at St. Patrick’s Church in
Heppner to celebrate the
50th year of their church
building on November 21
this year.
The Parish was estab-
lished in 1887 with a church
building on Chase Street.
That church, now a private
home, also served as one
of the temporary morgues
during the 1903 Heppner
flood.
On September 17,
1941, ground was broken
for a larger, red brick church
on Gale Street and complet-
ed just two months and ten
days later on November
27. Because of increasing
maintenance costs and a
need for more space, the
red brick church was torn
down in April 1971 and the
present ‘green’ church was
constructed on its site. Mass
was held in the Parish Hall
during construction.

building was designed by
Jerry Mossman, and the
general contractor was Aid-
en Vixie, whose son still
operates the family con-
struction business in Walla
Walla. Father Raymond
Beard and many parish-
ioners contributed to the
building process, which
was officially dedicated on
November 10, 1971.
Michael Scott Lovgren
was the first baptized infant
in the new church building
in December 1971 and that
same month, John and Jill
O’Donnell were the first
couple married there.
In recognition of the
50-year anniversary, there
will be a Mass at 11 a.m. on
November 21 followed by a
luncheon at the Parish Hall.
Both are open to the public.
The Parish is asking for
photos, stories or memories
of the past 50 years, or even
prior, for display and/or to
share in a slide presentation
at the luncheon. The dead-
line for these is November
5. Please contact the church
at saintpatschurch@gmail.
com or 541-676-9462 for
more information.
