The Paulist Fathers, who have staffed St. Philip Neri Parish in Southeast Portland since its founding in 1912, will withdraw from the parish this summer, effective June 30. Care of the parish will go to archdiocesan priests. Paulist Father James Kolb will continue as pastor of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish. The Portland Paulist Associates will also continue.
