Our Pastor, Fr. Matt, will be leading a pilgrimage to France and Italy November 7-18, 2016 to celebrate both the Jubilee Year of Mercy and Father Matt's 25th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. If this might be your time to visit some of the holiest Catholic places in Europe, please contact Nora Lundin for a brochure at (650) 494-2496 ext. 14 or [email protected]

"The practice of pilgrimage has a special place in the Holy Year, because it represents the journey each of us makes in this life. Life itself is a pilgrimage, and the human being is a viator, a pilgrim traveling along the road, making his way to the desired destination. Similarly, to reach the Holy Door in Rome or in any other place in the world, everyone, each according to his or her ability, will have to make a pilgrimage. This will be a sign that mercy is also a goal to reach and requires dedication and sacrifice. May pilgrimage be an impetus to conversion: by crossing the threshold of the Holy Door, we will find the strength to embrace God's mercy and dedicate ourselves to being merciful with others as the Father has been with us."
