Your generosity and commitment to the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal the Archdiocese to provide the vital services to our local community and our greater Church.

From Archbishop Cordileone:

“The theme for this year’s Archdiocesan Annual Appeal is ” For the needy will never be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever fade).  This year in particular, there are many people who need care and support. By responding to God’s call to stewardship and grace, and participating in the Annual Appeal, we support our pastors and parishes in their financial and human resources efforts, our parish ministries and schools, clergy, youth and young adults, social ministries, and the greater Church, among others.

On behalf of all who need and depend on the ministries and services of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, I ask you to make a gift to the Archdiocese Annual Appeal.  Your gift will impact many lives, and it will be greatly appreciated.

Your contribution is a tangible expression of your commitment to bring Christ to others. It reinforces the vital nature of our mission; it enhances our ability to teach, spread, and celebrate the faith; and it impacts the lives of countless individuals.”

Our campaign goal is $55,704

Vocation Cross Program

Jesus said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Lk 10:2)

We are all called to pray for vocations, especially for the priestly and religious life.

Starting February 21 at the 9:45am mass and every Sunday thereafter,
parishioners will take turns in bringing the Vocation Cross home for a week.  
Those who take the Cross will pray each day, the Vocation Prayer and the Rosary.

Sign up sheets available before and after Sunday masses.
