About

Sunday, April 23rd, is our Initiation Sunday. During this liturgy, our RCIA candidates will be fully received sacramentally into the Catholic Church by the Most Reverend Bishop Michael Barber, S.J., bishop of the Diocese of Oakland. Alongside our dearest Father Andrés Emmanuelli, I.V. Dei and Father Tom McElligott, Bishop Barber, will call upon the Holy Spirit to further guide the faith journeys of our Candidates and this community of faith.

This liturgy will be held in the Saint Mary’s Chapel at 5pm, Sunday, April 23rd, 2023.

All are welcome and invited to witness and take part in the Celebration of Confirmation for our beloved candidates and stay for a reception following the liturgy.
