Scope and content
A document titled ‘Parish Statistics’ detailing the demographics, service schedules, and church values for several Catholic communities in Central Oregon, primarily centered around Bend (St. Francis). Bend represents the largest parish by far, boasting a population of 564, 100 children, and five distinct confraternities totalling hundreds of members. The smaller regional missions of Redmond, Prineville, Madras, and La Pine have populations ranging from 11 to 53, receive services either bi-weekly or monthly, and list church property costs between $1,200 and $4,000. Additionally, the log notes quarterly circuit outreach to Paulina, Sisters, Tumalo, and Millican, alongside a monthly service at a local Indian Reservation.
