Come join us for a beautiful ridge hike along a section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail, winding through redwood groves and sweeping ridge-top vistas.

We will celebrate Mass during the hike, followed by time to enjoy your lunch. Afterward, there will be an optional social time—possibly a visit to a café.
