Preserving the Traditional Latin Mass at St. Mary’s Church in Vacaville and beyond.

Advocating for preservation of the Latin Mass in our local community since 2021.

We operate as Indult Mass under the Diocese of Sacramento. Please note: (This website does not represent the Diocese in any official capacity). Located at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Vacaville, California. The Diocese covers the area between Sacramento and San Francisco and up to the Oregon border and south to Stockton, CA. The High Mass is on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month includes a potluck after the 3rd Sunday Mass. We have a faithful Latin choir which welcomes all would be singers and experienced singers specializing in ancient Chant, and timeless hymnals.

Whether you’re a new or old faithful Catholic we will help you thrive in your Catholic faith to protect you and help you thrive in the world. We bring back the constant, God and the Depositum Fidei (Deposit of Faith), Tradition which for many has been lost in this world of constant change.

On the 135th Anniversary of Rerum Novarum (May 15, 2026), the world received it’s first encyclical from Pope Leo XIV in amazing fashion. It is titled “Magnifica Humanitas” or Magnificent Humanity…”On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence”.

RORATE CÆLI: First Encyclical of Pope Leo XIV, on the 135th Anniversary of Rerum Novarum

There are 5 chapters of the encyclical : 1) A Dynamic Approach Faithful to the Gospel. 2) Foundations and Principles of Social Doctrine of the Church. 3) Technology and Dominance. 4) Safeguarding Humanity at a Time of Transformation, Truth, Work Freedom. 5) The Culture of Power and the Civilization of Love.

Pope Leo XIV's Address: The Pope emphasized the importance of AI serving humanity and the common good, stating that AI must be developed with responsibility and discernment to benefit all people. 

Bishops Warn Artificial Intelligence ‘Can Never Replicate the Soul’| National Catholic Register

We must acknowledge that not everyone in the world is Catholic. But Jesus wants them to be Douay-Rheims Bible, Matthew Chapter 28. There are millions who have not heard or refuse to hear the “Word of God” and therefore much is “talking to deaf ears”. That is where (even the smallest mustard seed) the thoughts, words and actions of ordinary Catholics becomes vastly important. We must proclaim… ”Jesus, Mary and Joseph, We Trust in Thee”. We ask God, and His Angels and Saints to help us get through these troubling times and help each other (loving our neighbors) as we continue to strive for holiness in this life and the life in the world to come.
