In order to repeal the Oregon death penalty a vote of the people will be necessary. An important part in removal of death penalties in six states since 2005 has been the vigorous efforts of Catholics in each of those states. It is now time to mobilize the faithful to promote the conversation among all voters to do the right thing and repeal the death penalty in Oregon.
Dinner, catered by prize-winning chef Elias Torres, will begin following the Queen of Peace 5PM Saturday mass. Tickets are only $10 each. To reserve tickets call (503)990-7060 or buy online at www.oadp.org.
