Bishop Emeritus William K. Weigand will offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on Sunday, June 4, 2023 at 10:00 AM in thanksgiving to God for sixty years of priestly ordination. All are invited to celebrate this significant milestone with him.

Northern California has been blessed by this devoted disciple and zealous shepherd. The courage, wisdom, and generous charity of Bishop William serve as an inspiration for all the faithful, religious, and clergy in the Diocese of Sacramento.

May Jesus, the Good Shepherd, bless his faithful servant with continued health and grace. Ad multos annos!

It is with gladness that we announce the upcoming Priestly Ordination of Deacon Eric Patrick on June 3, 2023 at 10am at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Sacramento.

Please invite your community and parish ministries to pray for Deacon Eric, and if they can, to attend the celebration.

- Your Faith

When I came to the Diocese of Sacramento in 2007, I was often greeted by the statement, phrased as a question, “So you’re from Southern California, right?” This was then rejoined by the accusation, “You’re one of those who take all our water for your pools.”

Having been in the window seat of a plane many times as it took off from or landed at the Orange County airport, I could see where one would get that impression. Sunlight glistens off of pools in many of the backyards of the homes in Irvine and Newport Beach surrounding the John Wayne Airport. This appears extravagant for a region known as semi-arid with relatively limited rainfall.
