Welcome to Our Lady of the Cascades, a progressive Catholic Church headquartered in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
We are a community of faith that welcomes all people, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or background.
As a Catholic Church, we are rooted in the rich traditions of the Church, but we also recognize the need for progress and change in order to better serve our community and the world around us. We believe that the message of Christ is one of love, compassion, and justice, and we strive to live out those values in all aspects of our lives.
