Why belong here
Resurrection is a self-described Stewardship Parish, meaning members are invited to share their time, talent, and treasure as a way of life rather than as an occasional ask. The community gathers for daily and Sunday Mass, livestreams the 11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass on Facebook, and runs a robust slate of ministries — from RCIA and a full children/youth faith formation track (Life Kids, Bridge, Confirmation, Life Teen) to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry, the Knights of Columbus Council 13851, the Father's Heart Street Ministry feeding 120–150 people a month, a Women's Bible Study, and a Peace & Justice group. With more than 1,400 registered families, an on-site preschool/kindergarten and parish school, the Moisant Center, and a new gym, Resurrection offers a place to worship, to learn, to serve, and to belong.

Parish History
The community that became Resurrection began in 1976 when West Linn and Lake Oswego families started gathering for weekend Mass at St. Anne's Chapel on the Marylhurst College campus. In October 1978 it formally became St. Anne's Mission, a mission of Our Lady of the Lake Parish in Lake Oswego. After years of planning, property acquisition, and patient fundraising, Archbishop Cornelius Power established the Parish of the Resurrection of Our Lord on March 8, 1984, with Fr. John Domin as its first pastor. The parish later relocated from Marylhurst to its present Stafford Road site — a former riding academy — in November 1992, dedicated a permanent church in November 2002, opened the Moisant Center for Faith in Action in September 2013, and completed the Resurrection Gym in 2022.
