St. Antonious Coptic Orthodox Church was established in 1992 when H.H. Pope Shenouda III asked Fr. Takla Azmy to take care of the Coptic families in Oregon, in addition to attending to his duty as the priest of St Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Seattle, WA. In 2003, God blessed us with the current church building on 65th Street, in the heart of Portland (OR), when the Board responding to the congregation's request moved to a bigger church. This enabled more people to come to the church. On August 6, 2006, Fr. Mekhail Hanna was appointed by H.H. Pope Shenouda III as the first permanent priest for the church. Currently, the Church counts over 120 Coptic families in Oregon besides the youth.
