Explore Southern Oregon

St. Mary’s is located in Medford. This small city is nestled in the stunning Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon, one of the most beautiful parts of the American West. Surrounded by mountains, lakes, and rivers, the Rogue Valley is still just a short drive from the beach, ski slopes, and National Parks.  The area enjoys four mild seasons meaning the outdoor adventures are endless. The area is also known for its music, arts, and theater culture. Portland and San Francisco are just a few hours drive in either direction for those looking for an escape to the big city. 
The State of Oregon is northwest of the United States, with the Pacific Ocean to the west, Washington State to the north, and California to the south. Major cities in the state include Portland, Salem, Eugene and Medford. Important attractions include the Columbia River Gorge, Crater Lake National Park, the Portland Art Museum, the Shakespeare Festival, and Multnomah Falls.

Oregon is rich in natural resources and is known for its wood, agricultural products, and fishing. The state is also home to the global headquarters of the sporting goods company Nike, the outdoor sports brand Columbia, and the technology company Tektronix. In 2024, Oregon’s foreign trade imports and exports totaled nearly $60 billion USD. Oregon is also a leader in high-tech companies.

Medford is home to approximately 80,000 people, with about 200,000 people living in the surrounding areas. Medford benefits from metropolitan amenities such as a nationally recognized healthcare system and world-renowned theater, but it is small enough to maintain an outstanding quality of life with clean water and air and plentiful parks and recreation options.
