Meet Our Staff

Fr. Timothy Furlow is a son of the parish, born into St. Patrick's just four blocks away. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Theology and Philosophy from Franciscan University of Steubenville, then studied for the priesthood in Rome, completing pontifical degrees — a Baccalaureate in Sacred Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University and a Licentiate in Moral Theology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas. He served St. Patrick's as administrator from 2018 and has been its Pastor since 2020.

Originally from Southern California, James moved to Oregon in his early childhood. He was baptized and fully received into the Catholic Church in 2016 at St. Cecilia's Parish in Beaverton, where his passion for lay ministry began. He graduated from Arizona State University in 2024 with a degree in Religious Studies, with certifications in Theology, Sacred Scripture, and Apologetics, and is honored to serve St. Patrick's in fostering spiritual growth and community.

Cenolina is a true Oregonian, born and raised amid the landscapes of Oregon, with a deep-rooted sense of community and family. She keeps St. Patrick's running day to day — coordinating events, caring for every detail, and making the parish beautiful and welcoming to all who come through its doors.

Michel serves St. Patrick's as our parish support accountant through the Archdiocese of Portland, which provides accounting support to its parishes. With a quick mind for numbers, she keeps the administrative side of the parish running efficiently and affordably — and when she's not balancing the books, she loves her dogs.

Melissa Hart is a singer and multi-instrumentalist from San Francisco. She earned a Bachelor of Music from Berklee College of Music, studying songwriting, music production, and vocal performance. A convert to the Catholic faith, she directs the parish's choirs and leads our sacred music at St. Patrick's, and is also choir director at Portland's Chesterton Academy and a member of Cantores in Ecclesia.

Originally from beautiful Indonesia, Helen Rey Heller immigrated to the United States in 1990. With a deep dedication to family, community, and faith, she has served at Cathedral School and St. Mary's Cathedral and helped found Rose Haven. She now serves as wedding coordinator for both St. Patrick's and St. Mary's Cathedral, and is an Ambassador for the Indonesian Catholic Community of Oregon.
