Ride to mass in Verboort on August 19

Verboort is little town in the Tualatin Valley northwest of Hillsboro.  Founded as an enclave of Dutch Catholics in 1886, it's been a busy little enclave in the middle of farm fields ever since. 

We'll ride MAX out to Hillsboro, then take an idyllic ride through the farms of the Tualatin Valley for 9 miles out to the church.  After attending mass at 10:00 am, we'll explore the grounds, see the famous sequoia grove, and take in a little more religious history while we're out there. 

Meet at Rose Quarter MAX Station at 8:00 am, or Hillsboro MAX station at 9:00 am. Back by mid-afternoon.  Sunday August 19th

Yours in The Faith,
Pasture Ted
