Martha & Mary Home is ALIVE!

Our home is in the lovely house given to us by the family of Bob and Evelyn Dieringer in the Woodstock neighborhood of SE Portland. Since December 1, 2010 we have been sharing our home with people at the end of their lives who need a home — they do not have an adequate home or they do not have loved ones available to care for them around-the-clock. Each of our residents is enrolled in a hospice program. We work closely with hospice to keep our residents clean, comfortable and well supported spiritually and emotionally. We welcome loved ones who come to visit and add their life to our home. We help them in their grieving.

Our home includes THE MARIAN CHAPEL donated by the George Galati Family in memory of Ann and Margaret Galati. A beautiful space was blessed by Archbishop John Vlazny on August 29, 2012. It is available to persons of any beliefs who want to spend time meditating, praying or simply being within its walls. Occasionally we gather for Mass or other group prayer in our chapel.

New residents are joining us and they will be blessed by all of the generosity that has made this home a place of beauty and dignity.
