Welcome to Divine Mercy Parish
of St. Paschal Baylon and St. Lawrence O'Toole churches

    Jesus called us to demonstrate that
   the Mercy of God  is real in Oakland, California

And the winner is .... the Rectory Guest Room!  Thank you Knights of Columbus for such a fun fund raiser for the parish.

"The Equality Act takes us in a different direction. While the name sounds appealing—who is not in favor of equality?—the Equality Act is actually deeply intolerant."  Bishop Michael Barber

“Archbishop Gomez has issued a very pastoral and unifying statement. I agree with it completely. The Catholic Church, and the Diocese of Oakland in particular, stands ready to work with the incoming Biden Administration on issues such as immigration, health care, climate, the death penalty, racial justice, and the economy. But we will stand up for the right to life for the unborn child, the right of parents to choose the best education for their child,  and the right to religious freedom given to us by God, and guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. We pray for healing and unity for our country — but a healing and unity that leaves no one behind.”

Most Rev. Michael C. Barber, S.J.
Bishop of Oakland
