John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial, Bas-relief sculpture in Madison South, Portland, US

The John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial is a large bas-relief sculpture installed in the parking lot of The Grotto, a Catholic shrine formally known as the National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother, at Northeast Sandy Boulevard and 85th Avenue in Portland's Madison South neighborhood. Created in 1965 by an unknown artist, its plaque shows Kennedy's profile, the same seen on the Kennedy half dollar.

The bas-relief was created in 1965 by an artist whose name is not recorded, and it was given to The Grotto by several Catholic organizations. It stands in the parking lot of the National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother, a Catholic shrine at Northeast Sandy Boulevard and 85th Avenue. In July 1993 the Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program rated its condition as well maintained.

The memorial was donated by several Catholic organizations and stands at the entrance to The Grotto, a Catholic shrine and sanctuary formally named the National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother. The plaque reproduces Kennedy's profile as it appears on the Kennedy half dollar, a design visitors can compare directly with the coin.
