Additional observations The first St. Peter Church in the Diocese of Sacramento was built in 1868 and served by priests who rode in on horseback. It became a parish with its own pastor in 1877. The current church was built in 1916; an extensive renovation of the interior occurred in 1987. It is a traditional-style church, with a large center altar and stained glass windows.

Where are the felt banners? Asking for a friend.
Beautiful
It’s not “traditional” let’s be honest, no TLM, communion rail mostly gone except for very ends, dinner table in front of traditional high altar, floor covered with carpet, so traditional by no means.
I urge you to not refer to an altar on which bread and wine become the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ, as a “dinner table.” The Holy Mass is the sacrifice by which the Church not only remembers Jesus Christ, but really brings Him, His saving death, and His resurrection into the present. It is traditional to reverence an altar, due to what (even Who) occurs on that holy place during Mass, the source and summit of the Christian life and the highest form of worship (this side of heaven). Holy things should not be disparaged.
True! I see so many comments referring to altars as “Cranmer tables” or “dinner tables”. I am traditional myself but that doesn’t stop me from respecting real altars. Even though I prefer ad orientem, I still revere these altars, which contain real relics of saints, and on which the bread and wine has been transubstantiated into the body and blood of Christ!
Just because it isn’t attached to the wall doesn’t make it any less an altar. To say that it is a mere dinner table is disrespecting the throne of God and the role of the priest.
i gave you a thumbs up. It went to 2 thumbs up and then disappeared.
Thanks for standing up against the blasphemy
Just because the sanctuary is not to your taste doesn’t mean it’s any less holy. You demean the house of God y using materialistic shallow standards.
This parish isn’t gay friendly, is it? No Catholic parish should be gay friendly. I read a lot on America’s website about making parishes more gay friendly, and I want none of if.
Well I should hope this Parish is friendly to all people, to Catholics in particular, regardless of whom they’re attracted to. And if a person is attracted to the same-sex and is striving to live chastely as the Church teaches, then he/she may also receive Holy Communion if in the state of grace. Holy Communion is not a prize for the perfect, “None,” as Pope Francis has reminded us. For example just because I am a straight white male doesn’t make me more worthy of a Parish’s welcome or more worthy to receive Holy Communion.
Wow, Four Spanish Masses on Sat-Sun. Lots of time for confession. And single-handedly done by one priest? Not to worry, Fr. Hector Montoya is capable, energetic, and always cheerful.
God bless him. May his tribe increase!
Love that the sanctuary is well recessed into the apse.
