From our Pastor,
Fr. Mark Gazzingan
Please watch our Re-Opening video. In it you will find all the details of how to proceed as we return to live masses. To ensure all of the faithful are accommodated, we will continue our live stream masses as well. Click on the video for Fr Mark's message and instructions.
With the County going back to Purple Tier, we regret to inform you that beginning November 17, our masses will be livestream and Drive-In only until further notice.
All reservations for in-person indoor mass will be cancelled. No indoor gathering will be held in compliance with the county's directives.
We will update you as County directives continually evolve.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Each year the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's St. Victor's Conference raises funds for our parish's Christmas Giving Tree. In the past, our parishioners have provided gifts for our neighbors in need and we then organize, wrap and distribute those gifts. But this year, due to Covid, we had to change our process. So rather than gifts, we are asking for monetary donations to this fund so we can purchase gift cards for each member of our families. Our desire is to continue our tradition of providing needy families with a little something to open at Christmas. Since 1946 The Society of St Vincent de Paul has been helping the needy of Santa Clara County. We help anyone and everyone regardless of race, creed, religion or sexual orientation. All proceeds donated will be used exclusively to directly provide to the needy and all donations are tax deductible. Help us help others during this Christmas season!
