Diocesan Events

“9 Days for Life,” a novena for the intention that all human life be respected, will begin on Monday, January 21 and continue through January 29.  You are invited to join thousands of Catholics across the country in nine days of prayer for life and human dignity.

January 22, 2020 marks the 47th anniversary of the lamentable 1973 U.S. Supreme Court Decision, Roe v. Wade. In the Diocese of Sacramento, January 22 is designated as a Diocesan Day of Reparation. All are asked to observe this Day of Reparation through fasting, prayer, penance and works of mercy.

Join us as we honor marriage and salute the beauty of faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in married life.
