The Memorial
Nestled on the beautiful property at Our Lady of Peace Retreat House in Beaverton, Oregon you will encounter a breathtaking courtyard highlighting a Memorial Wall for the Unborn that also includes a one of a kind Statue of Our Holy Mother holding the infant Jesus.  Thanks to an outpouring of generosity to build this memorial, we now have a space for healing for all who have suffered through abortion, loss of a loved one, or any loss or sorrow in their life.

You Made a Difference! 
Our heartfelt thanks go out to the many benefactors who contributed to the completion of the Memorial Wall and Courtyard. Thanks to your generous support we have a beautiful addition to our retreat grounds to share with our guests and Sisters for many years to come. 


Our thanks to the Knights of Columbus who supported the construction of our Marian Garden.  We are grateful to you!

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life.
Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life. Taken from Pope John Paul II's 1995 encyclical, "The Gospel of Life" (www.vatican.va)
