We are an active Christian community in the Ojai Valley and invite you to join us in our mission to live the Gospel message.  Listed below are some of the more recent news and updates.  Please join us at Mass this week for worship, fellowship and celebration of God’s great love.

Our Mission

In our Catholic tradition we strive to live the Gospel life in prayer, sacrament, liturgy, teaching, evangelization and stewardship.  By the grace of God and guided by the Holy Spirit, may we truly live the faith we are called to profess each day.
