Catholics at the Capitol: Igniting a Faith that Serves

Join California’s Bishops and Catholics from throughout the state for a sacred day of prayer, worship, and unity at the State Capitol.

On the Feast of the Annunciation — in the heart of Lent — Catholics from across California will gather in Sacramento, the core of our state’s civic life, to ignite a faith that serves: a faith rooted in prayer, strengthened in communion with our bishops and alive in the public square.

It is a day to unite all Catholics — clergy and laity, families and individuals — together with our shepherds in worship and visible hope.

Throughout the day, participants — alongside California’s bishops — will take part in:

• A prayerful public rally calling us to faithful service
• A Rosary procession around the Capitol, lifting up our state and its leaders, and all who serve the common good
• The celebration of Holy Mass, grounding our public witness in worship
• Opportunity for school students to have their picture taken on the Assembly Floor inside the State Capitol
• An optional opportunity to visit legislative offices to greet district representatives and staff, demonstrating the Christ-filled love of Catholics
