Children Helping Children

Our congregation was moved by Samuel Koilpillai's temple talk about his work rescuing discarded babies in Hosur, a town in Southern India not far from Bangalore. Mr. Koilpillai is retired from the World Health Organization and shares a family connection with St. Ansgar. His daughter, Leela Nowrangi, is our Music Director.

The Sunday School students and teachers have decided to donate the Sunday School offering monies to the organization that runs the orphanage and medical clinic Mr. Koilpillai founded. Please join in the ministry of our Sunday School by making a donation to Mr. Koilpillai's organization, CUP (Community Uplift Projects) International.

Make checks for your tax deductible donation payable to:

The address for donations in the United States is:

Just An Old Fashioned Fair on November 10th

We are already getting phone calls wondering when we will hold our annual fair this year. Mark your calendars. It will be Saturday, November 10th from 10AM - 2PM.

Every year Portlanders flock to the fair for homemade crafts, our famous fish chowder, delicious baked goods, and Scandinavian gifts. Proceeds benefit youth programming and capital improvement projects at St. Ansgar as well as local charities. (For a list of which charities received donations from last year's fair monies, click on "Special Events.")
