St. Mary by the Sea Catholic Church

About this church

St. Mary by the Sea Catholic Church in Rockaway Beach is a Roman Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Portland. Mass is celebrated Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m., with weekday Mass at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and an additional 8:30 a.m. Mass on first Saturdays. The rosary is prayed 30 minutes before Mass, and confession is offered Saturdays at 4 p.m. The church was dedicated in 1927 and sits roughly 150 feet from the Pacific Ocean, and its interior is paneled in a nautical style that recalls a ship's cabin.

Eucharistic adoration follows the Thursday morning Mass and continues until noon, and it is also held for an hour on first Saturdays. Sunday School meets at 10:30 a.m. Families can contact the parish office about religious education. Parish ministries include a choir, hospitality, faith formation, children's ministry, a Circle of Caring group that meets Thursday mornings and a Celebrate Recovery group on Wednesday evenings. Sacraments other than Mass and confession are scheduled by appointment through the office. The weekly bulletin is posted on the parish website and lists that week's Mass schedule, which sometimes changes, so check it before visiting.
