WOODLAND — With joy and gratitude, the parish community of Holy Rosary gathered on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, for the solemn dedication of their new church. Most Rev. Jaime Soto, Bishop of Sacramento, presided at the Mass of Dedication, marking a historic moment for the parish founded in 1870.

The new church is the fifth in the parish’s history and the culmination of decades of prayer, planning, and preparation by the community. Discussions about the need for constructing a new church began in the 1990s under the leadership of then-pastor Fr. John Boll. 

Designed in a cruciform layout in the Spanish mission style, the church seats over 1,000 people and preserves many treasured elements from the previous church building, including stained-glass windows, rose windows, statuary, and the Stations of the Cross.
