All are encouraged to continue indoor masking when the risk may be high by both Sacramento County and the Diocese of Sacramento.  For information about the current diocesean protocols for worship, please read the latest information from the diocese by clicking HERE.  As of November 22nd, the distribution of the chalice has been suspended.  You may read the updated announcement from the diocese regarding the distribution of the Precious Blood by clicking HERE.

Our Lady of the Assumption and St. Joseph, pray for us.
