Please mark your calendars for each final Tuesday of every month for our monthly Young Adult Mass.
This Mass is offered to and for the young adults of our Deanery (northern grouping of parishes in the
Diocese of San Jose which includes Palo Alto, Stanford, Los Altos, and Mountain View), yet is open
to any and all young adults from college-age to early 40s. The liturgy is smaller and more intimate,
focusing on introductions and a conversational/ dialogue homily, followed by fellowship and
refreshments afterward. The Mass is held at the St. Nicholas Youth Center. Please note: this is not
near the church itself, but adjacent to the Rectory and the School. See this link for map & directions: http://paloaltocatholic.org/STAY/MapSNYC.pdfi Tell your friends and bring friends!==================================================
