Mornings with Father Mazza
Although weekday morning masses are currently canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Father Mazza, Pastor at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, has prepared a daily video message for you. -
Reflections with father rufino
Father Rufino is sending a special daily video message to the youth in our community. Please encourage your child to watch these messages daily. Better yet, grab a cup of coffee and sit down with them to watch. -
coronavirus Precaution
Masses at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church will be canceled beginning Wednesday, March 17th and will remain cancelled until further notice. This also includes funerals, weddings, and baptisims. Please check back on our website for further updates.
Parishioners confined to their homes on Sunday are encouraged to follow the televised Mass, and to make an act of Spiritual Communion. In addition, there are other ways for homebound parishioners to enter into the spirit of observing the Lord’s Day, such as meditating on the readings for that Sunday, praying the rosary, and (for those who have the availability) praying the Liturgy of the Hours. (Mass is broadcast each Sunday morning at 6:00AM on KOFY 13 and KTSF 26, at 6:30AM on KTXL 40 Sacramento, as well as on EWTN.) -
WELCOME TO IHM!
Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish warmly and cordially welcomes you in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, our Divine Lord and Savior. We proudly profess our Roman Catholic Faith, confident in the promise of Our Lord at the Ascension (Mt. 28:20): “. . .Behold I am with you all days even unto the consummation of the world.” Read about the Greatest Story Ever Told in the New Testament, especially in the Acts of the Apostles. What happened then happens now (Acts 2:42): “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teachings and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.” “The apostles’ teachings” are summed up in the official Catechism of the Catholic Church. Join us at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (“the breaking of the bread”), offered daily on our altar at the Lord’s command, in prayer, in study of the Faith, in our fellowship, and in service to all in our community.
We aim to live in the love and joy of Christ and bring that love and joy to others. I testify that there are many fine families, children, and adults in this parish. Read more about us on our website. Visitors are always welcome. If you are at Mass, I woulTitled be glad to meet you personally. Those interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith are encouraged to contact our RCIA director.
Catholics who are new to the Parish, are invited to go to our registration page and register with us.
Yours in the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Fr. Mark G Mazza, Pastor -
Reflections From Fr mark Mazza
The encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in the Gospel of St. John is one that is touching and yet profound. In our journey of faith much is revealed to us: Jesus is the living water; Jesus forgives our sins; Jesus heals us from the wounds of sin; Jesus quenches the thirst of souls; Jesus gives us the hope of life eternal; He fulfills our deepest longings and desires; God loves us and brings us salvation.
What particularly appeals to us is that the Lord’s encounter with the Samaritan woman is personal. Jesus saves souls one by one. We are not just faceless members of a group. Jesus as God-man can befriend each man and woman, each boy and girl, down through the long march of time. He knows me by name and brings me His life. He died for me as if I were the only one in need of salvation.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
