St. Nicholas Day

At 7:00 pm on Saturday, December 5, we begin the celebration of our “Our Patronal Feast and 70th Anniversary.” The celebration of a parish feast ought to be something special, full of prayer and good fellowship. It is kind of like a birthday party. It is something that each of us should participate in, giving thanks to God for our place of worship, for His innumerable mercies to us, for the intercessions of our heavenly patron on our walk through life, for our parish family and our fellowship. Fr. Andrew Morbey

We look forward to celebrating the feast together with our friends from neighboring parishes who will be making a pilgrimage to San Anselmo to honor our heavenly patron!

Here’s a reminder of the schedule:
