Dave as well as personal testimonies from men and women, young and old, religious and lay, their stories will inspire you to seek to encouter Jesus and the new life he is constantly inviting us to.

  • RCIA - Sacramental Preparation for Adults

    We all have so much to learn about our Catholic Faith and our Sacramental classes for adults provide excellent opportunities for those who are seeking to learn more about the Church or prepare for Baptism, Confirmation or Eucharist as adults. We have learned over the years that one of the greatest ways to foster growth in our faith is through relationship with others. If you are seeking to learn more about the Catholic Church - whether you know you want to receive the Sacraments or you simply are interested in delving into the roots of Christianity and how those roots have flourished into the Church of today, give us a call. We would love to sit with you over a cup of coffee, share some stories, and follow together where Jesus may be calling you. 

    Please contact Annie Troy (415) 897-2171 x277; annie@ollnovato.org to learn more about what is happening for you at OLL.
