Scope and content
A short survey detailing the geographic reach and demographics of the Catholic parish in Hermiston, Oregon, centered at Our Lady of Angels Church. It outlines three local mission churches — St. Patrick’s in Umatilla (7 miles northwest), St. Francis in Stanfield (7 miles south), and St. Peter's in Echo (11 miles south) — alongside distant outposts like Pilot Rock (70 miles), Butter Creek (85 miles), Gordane (95 miles), and Ukiah (100 miles). The document records a regional Catholic population of 250 people, with 90 residing in Hermiston itself out of a total town population of 700.
