The Catholic Community in Point Richmond would like to welcome you to our century-old church, located in the heart of this historic town on the shore of San Francisco Bay. The town’s founding dates back into the 19th Century, to the coming of the railroads to California. Our church dates from the days when Point Richmond had become a bustling center for trans-bay shipping. Even today, its wooden roof beams and roof planking still show the work of the shipwrights who worked in its construction.

The church is located at the corner of Santa Fe and West Richmond, just a block away from the "triangle" that marks the center of the old town, with its many shops and a great variety of good restaurants. The parish’s parking lot is just across from the church. And we are always happy to see new faces joining our community.

Weekend Masses are at 5:00pm on Saturday, and at 9:30am on Sunday. Weddings and baptisms are among a family’s happiest celebrations, and we invite you to celebrate these events with us. Contact the pastor for further information.
