Important Announcement from The Community of St. Stephen's:
|
On January 31, 2025 St. Stephen's building at SW 13th & Clay was sold to Operation Nightwatch, continuing St. Stephen's legacy.
Visit operationnightwatch.org to learn more. St. Stephen’s has proudly served downtown Portland since 1863. Since opening this location on SW13th & Clay 130 years ago, St. Stephen’s Episcopal served as the Bishop’s Cathedral from 1892 to 1973, and as a beacon of progress for marginalized communities in Portland. St. Stephen’s was the first Episcopal Church to welcome African American members in the 1920’s, a home to Japanese Americans returning home from internment in the 1940’s, the first church in Portland to host a marriage ceremony for an interracial couple in the 1960’s, the first Episcopal Church in Oregon to call a woman rector, a safe haven for LGBTQ+ community members during the AIDS crisis in the 1980’s, and a home to organizations serving our unhoused neighbors downtown such as Clay Street Table and Operation Nightwatch. |
