Blessing of the Animals 2023:
Last Saturday's Blessing of the Animals was a joyous occasion with good weather and a great turnout of parishioners and their pets. Thank you to everyone who attended!
Finally, let us pray for all victims and families affected by war and violence. As children of Christ, let us not forget that we are chartered to love and serve one another and bring peace to the world.
Blessings of Peace,
Fr. Kwame

“Coming to Life – Becoming ‘A Difference:
You Can’t Give What You Don’t Have!”
Fr. Kevin serves as Director of Ongoing Formation of Priests for the Diocese of Oakland and as Parochial Vicar of the new cluster of Transfiguration and Our Lady of Grace Parishes in Castro Valley.
Fr. Kevin came to know and love St. Francis of Assisi while studying at Notre Dame and Purdue Universities. During that time, he met Franciscan friars and made the decision to enter the Franciscan Order. He was ordained in 1984 by Bishop John Cummins in Oakland. Fr. Kevin is a teacher both by training and by ‘passion’ and likes to focus especially on the interface between Scripture and Spirituality.
We look forward to welcoming you and learning and growing alongside you as we journey through: Changing Lives by Making a Difference.
