Join us for a day of prayer, fellowship, and adventure! We believe Catholics are called to grow together in community as disciples of Jesus Christ, and what better way than to encounter Him in the beauty of His creation? Newbies are especially welcome.
To kick off our school year, we’ll be hiking the Windy Hill Loop, a scenic trail with a rich variety of landscapes: beginning in a shaded valley, climbing into a sometimes misty cloud-filled forests along the ridge, and then opening out to sunlit grasslands with sweeping views of the Bay Area. This is a highly sought after hike. There are three viable locations of where Mass could take place on the hike, but it will depend on weather: if sunny and hot, we will avoid exposure and be in shade. If too windy, will avoid the peak.
