Holy Trinity Catholic Church

I found this church on Unilocal,as my parents and I wanted to find a Saturday mass that was after our wineries and outlet shopping and on the way back to town.
Unfortunately, the air conditioning unit was broken and it was very warm inside the church. Father Dave did his best to make light of the situation, wishing he could blame the deacon but promised that it should be fixed soon. He even made sure to make the homily short and sweet so us parishioners didn’t have to stand the heat for too long!
You could tell the congregation was very friendly, from the moment you entered the church to when it was time to say «Peace be with you.» I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again if I was ever lucky enough to re-​visit Portland. God bless you, Unilocal

An amazing church with a wonderful pastor and a very friendly community. Father Dave is an incredibly gifted priest. The sermons are impeccable and he dedicates his life to church activity. He is very down to earth and is very realistic about applying church doctrine to real world situations. He does this in a minimal amount of time too, so you won’t catch him rambling in the homilies.
The community is outstanding. There are several cultural groups that are represented that throw magnificent parties and events. There are bible studies and youth groups for all ages. I’d say this is one of the best in Beaverton and recommend that you give it a shot!

I really want to give Holy Trinity more stars. I really do. I went here for about 5 years and had nothing bad to say about it. It’s crowded but not too crowded, the people are friendly, and there are a lot of community-​building events. I even was an alter-​server there when I was younger, which I recommend for older children and tweens (it’s a great way to feel more involved in mass). Parking is okay, but the lot is kind of a mess after mass.
Like any Catholic church with a school attached, it was a bit cliquey, but not any more than other churches. The church was growing rapidly when I was there, and that was partly due to the amazing priest who worked there at the time.
The priest eventually was «discovered» to be gay, which was something he never brought into the church and really kept to himself. Because of that, the community called for him to leave the church and essentially drove him out. My family promptly left the church after that, although the new priest is wonderful as well. I just can’t support a community that does something like that to such a great member of the parish. Intolerance and homophobia are not things that I believe in.

Holy Trinity Catholic Church is nestled within the city of Beaverton, but only a couple blocks away from the Nike Campus and Chinatown restaurant. It’s about 1 – 1.5 miles away from the 26 freeway if you exit off of Murray and head South before you turn left on Walker Rd.
MASSES:
Saturday: 5:30 PM
Sunday: 8 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:15 AM
RECONCILIATION:

Holy Trinity reminds me of St. Philomena AKA «St. Filipino», back home in Carson, CA. I think it’s because the church is modern, the masses are always crowded and that I find many fellow Filipino parishoners. Unlike other Catholic churches in the area, the pews have padded seats (maybe that’s why it’s so crowded here)!
What I enjoy the most from attending mass here are the sermons from the priest. His sermons are funny, straight to the point and powerful. I also like the choir, they have a nice section dedicated to the live music.
My only gripes about this place is that they have a bad parking lot. With the amount of people attending the masses here, you can imagine the parking lot looking like Christmas shopping at the mall.
I usually go to church here if I happen to be in the area. There are a couple churches that are a bit closer to me, I wish this parish was one of them.
