The Amador Catholic Community is comprised of six churches in three parishes located in the heart of Amador County in the Diocese of Sacramento, California. Bishop Jaime Soto is the Bishop of Sacramento. Our pastor is Father Thomas Seabridge, and Father Geraldo Rañin is our Parochial Vicar.
The parishes and their mission churches are:
St. Patrick, with its mother church in Jackson and its two mission churches St. Bernard in Volcano and Our Lady of the Pines in Pioneer.
Immaculate Conception, with its mother church in Sutter Creek and its mission church St. Mary of the Mountains in Plymouth.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, located in Ione.
But we’re not just a group of church buildings! The Amador Catholic Community is a living, breathing collaboration of over 1400 Roman Catholic families. We worship in our individual parishes but enjoy the freedom to attend Mass in any one of our six churches, knowing that we truly are one large, extended family. Once a year we gather at our Tri-Parish Mass where hundreds come together to celebrate the Mass at one time, in one location.

“BREAKING BREAD WITH FRIENDS” is a home grown interfaith effort to feed the hungry and homeless by providing a breakfast and bag lunch to those in need every Saturday morning at the Jackson United Methodist Church. Volunteers are needed to serve one Saturday a month for approximately 2-3 hours. We also need volunteers to staff the various committees such as finance, communications, menu/shopping, scheduling, and to bake cookies and other baked goods to be included in the sack lunches. If you can help or are interested in learning more about the project, contact Joe Lang at 296-3154, or email Marci Russell at mrussell@stpatparish.org. |

Catholics Come Home is also a national effort to bring Catholics back to their faith — visit the Catholics Come Home website here and read about this exciting effort to reunite our brothers and sisters in Christ! On this website you can view the Catholics Come Home commercials that are now running on television and learn how so many “fallen away Catholics” have found their way back home.
In addition, the Diocese of Sacramento has launched its own website for returning Catholics to welcome them home and provide assistance. Visit http://welcomehomenorcal.com/ |

FAITH IN ACTION RETURNS. The Lenten reflection series begins the week of February 15. And, yes, we have different books for this year. If you were a facilitator or home host and would like to be one again, if you would like to be a new facilitator or home host, or if you just have questions, please email scc@suttercreekparish.com or call Lisa at 916-296-7121. There will be sign-ups at the churches over the next few weekends. Ask someone who was in a group last year what their experience was like. It may change the way you attend Mass, see your faith, and move through life! Click here for more information about the Faith in Action series. And you can click here to view a sample of commentary, reflections, and questions for the readings for January 24. |
