WELCOME TO IHM!
Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish warmly and cordially welcomes you in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, our Divine Lord and Savior. We proudly profess our Roman Catholic Faith, confident in the promise of Our Lord at the Ascension (Mt. 28:20): “. . .Behold I am with you all days even unto the consummation of the world.” Read about the Greatest Story Ever Told in the New Testament, especially in the Acts of the Apostles. What happened then happens now (Acts 2:42): “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teachings and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.” “The apostles’ teachings” are summed up in the official Catechism of the Catholic Church. Join us at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (“the breaking of the bread”), offered daily on our altar at the Lord’s command, in prayer, in study of the Faith, in our fellowship, and in service to all in our community.
We aim to live in the love and joy of Christ and bring that love and joy to others. I testify that there are many fine families, children, and adults in this parish. Read more about us on our website. Visitors are always welcome. If you are at Mass, I would be glad to meet you personally. Those interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith are encouraged to contact our RCIA director.
Catholics who are new to the Parish, are invited to go to our registration page and register with us.
Yours in the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Fr. Mark G Mazza, Pastor -
Reflections From Fr mark Mazza
The greatest treasure we have as Catholics is the Lord’s gift to us of the Holy Eucharist. We remember and celebrate at every Mass that the “night He was betrayed” he took ordinary bread and wine and changed them into His Body and His Blood. We believe that after the words of consecration, first pronounced by the Lord Himself at the Last Supper, the bread and wine cease to exist. We have only the appearances of bread and wine. Their substance has changed in the most radical way possible. We call this change transubstantiation. This doctrine assures us that Jesus is truly and really present for us in the Holy Eucharist until the end of time. .... Read more... -

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Senate Bill 360 - Updates
Over 18,000 signatures were gathered in our Archdiocese alone, so the Assembly members are certainly hearing from their constituents. There is a hearing in Sacramento on July 9, and the Archdiocese is chartering buses for those who wish to attend. Go here for more information.

The state Senate has already approved the bill, which would take away from priests and from everyone who works with priests in parishes and Church agencies across the state the full right to confess their sins with the assurance of confidentiality.
