William Craib Curtin (1942- ) was a Catholic priest in the Albina community of north/northeast Portland, Oregon from the late 1960s to 1981. He grew up in Portland and received his training at the Suplican Seminary of the Northwest. He was inspired by his father's work as a police officer serving the Albina community and the respect his father held for the African American community, as well as by the work of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement. As a priest, Curtin worked closely with the African-American community and was involved in civil rights issues and community organizing. He served as a priest in the Archdiocese of Portland from 1968-1981, first at St. Charles Parish and then, from 1971-1981, at Immaculate Heart. His activism focused on the Albina neighborhood when the city rezoned a third of the parish for commercial use to make way for the expansion of Emanuel Hospital, disrupting the community and leaving blocks of abandoned housing. Curtin's work also extended to police-community relations and alcohol and drug recovery programs. Curtin later worked in the security field, directing campus safety at Reed College and Lewis and Clark College. He retired in 2006, but continued to do consulting work with colleges and universities in the Northwest and across the country as of 2019.
