A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM Faithful to restore old Echo church Echo Oktoberfest to benefit St. Peter’s project By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR A day before the old St. Peter’s Catholic Church hosted an open house event in Echo, a handful of curious bypassers stopped in to get a glimpse of the historic building, which was constructed in 1913. “It’s so neat to see the doors open,” Matthew Greenup said Saturday as he made his way up the concrete stairs. The Heppner man was in town looking at antiques and heard there was some activity at the old church. The building was de-con- secrated in 1996 and do- nated to the Fort Henrietta Foundation by the Diocese of Baker. While initial dis- cussion centered around a possible museum, the church has sat empty for more than 20 years. It was added to the National Reg- ister of Historic Places on Aug. 28, 1997. A small group of volun- teers with the Echo Kiwan- is Club and Fort Henri- etta Foundation worked both inside and outside the structure Saturday in preparation for Sunday’s open house. In addition to dusting and vacuuming, Kiwanian Phyllis Shovel- ski said they removed the plastic covers from the or- nate statues and other fix- tures inside the building. Outside, Michael Duffy, Echo Kiwanis president, cleaned up the parking area with a backhoe. The Kiwanis, Duffy said, have no interest in taking over the project. However, he said they want to lend a hand and provide financial support to help in reducing the building’s degradation. “We need to treat this as the treasure it is,” Duffy STAFF PHOTO BY TAMMY MALGESINI Michael Duffy, Echo Kiwanis Club president, operates a backhoe during a clean-up day Saturday at the St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Echo.

Regardless of their re- ligious upbringing, Shov- elski said the consensus from what she hears from the people around town is they don’t want to see the building destroyed. In fact, she said the building elic- its quite the emotional re- sponse from some people. “A year ago it was cov- ered in bird droppings, dead flies, cobwebs and there was a beehive in the wall,” Shovelski said. “It was pretty bad and people were tearful.” On Sunday, more than 150 turned out for the open house, from Echo, Herm- iston and the surrounding area. Many shared mem- ories of worshiping in the chapel or attending events there, like weddings. Peo- ple also commented with pride on seeing many of the artifacts, like statues, the confessional booth, al- ters and organs still housed inside the century-old building. The inaugural Echo Oktoberfest, held in 2016, raised about $6,000 for the project, Shovelski said. The Kiwanis are again hosting an Oktoberfest event, with most of the funds going to the St. Pe- ter’s project. Some of the money, Shovelski said, will be earmarked for the Kiwanis scholarship pro- gram for area youths who are furthering their educa- tion. This year’s Echo Ok- toberfest is Saturday, Oct. 21 beginning at 4 p.m. in downtown Echo. The family-friendly event will include kids’ activities, food (German sausage, coleslaw, potato salad, hot dogs and brats) and bever- ages, including 16 variet- ies of beer from Hermiston Brewing Co., Shovelski said. In addition, Cruise Control, an oldies rock and roll band from the Tri-Cit- ies, will perform. Oktoberfest tickets are $15. Those purchased in advance will include $20 in event tokens. They are available at H&P Cafe in Echo, Hermiston Brewing Co. & Nookies Restaurant and from Echo Kiwanis members.
