Welcome to the Diocese of Oakland, and to the vibrant Catholic communities of Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
Please join us in all the celebrations and ministries the Diocese offers. Our Diocese is a place of prayer where we embody the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, strengthen parishioners' Sunday experience, and form Missionary Disciples.
May our patroness, Our Lady Queen of the World, help us to follow our Lord in a spirit of justice, mercy and love.
Yours sincerely in Christ,
The Most Reverend Michael C. Barber, SJ
Bishop of Oakland

Racism and the catholic church
On June 18, 2020, the bishops of the California Catholic Conference released a video reenacting the Stations of the Cross to draw attention to the sin of racism and ask God’s help in eliminating it. Each station in the video was taped at a location with rich racial significance. The sixth Station of the Cross was taped at the Fruitvale BART station in Oakland where Oscar Grant was killed. The Way of the Cross is an ancient prayer, allowing people to enter into Jesus’ final outpouring of love.
