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

said.
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.
