Please click to read the full article, and the article in Spanish. The Diocese asked each parish and school to appoint delegates to attend a recent in-person weekend-long Synod meeting to reflect upon the input received from the questionnaires and, based upon that input, to provide direction for development of the long term plan. The Synod meeting was held this past weekend at the University of Santa Clara. Each parish was given the opportunity to appoint 3 parishioners to serve as delegates. This resulted in approximately 200 delegate appointments overall. Our parish had 5 representatives present at the Synod: Ana Maria Flores-Velez and Veronica Duluk served as facilitators for the discussions, and Tina Chen, Bob Foley and Sarah O’Dowd served as delegates.Read More -

January 11After careful consideration as to the needs of our parish, we have decided to restore the St. Albert the Great Sunday Mass to 9am, replacing the 10:30am Mass. This went into effect on 1/8/23. We want to continue to strengthen our parish and community bonds. If your preference for going to Mass is at 10:30am, please attend our parish's other site, Our Lady of the Rosary, which still has a 10:30am Mass.Read More
