Church is not a building. It is People. A Community. A Family.
We come to church to find something we need—a connection, prayer, healing, a deeper faith—but leave with a desire to give back. We understand that the world does not offer real peace or true happiness. Our church is in the business of changing hearts. Let us change yours, so that you can change the world and put love to work.
We’re here whenever you need us, whether it’s to connect with others, pray for help or guidance, heal from life’s wounds, or grow in faith. Each of the tabs above - Connect, Pray, Heal, and Grow - will tell you how to access what we have to offer. And when you feel ready to give back, check out all of our volunteer opportunities under the Love tab.
If you are interested in learning about sacraments for children, please click on the PRAY tab, then check out Sacraments and Rites.

Need "clergy recommendation" for Catholic High schools?
Thursday, September 21, 2017
Dear parents,
Earlier this week I met with Diana Rittenhouse (our administrative assistant), Lisa Veto (our director of religious education), and Kendal Flatley (our parochial school's 8th grade teacher) to come up with the best possible procedure regarding "clergy recommendations" for Catholic high schools.
In the past, many parents failed to follow directions, which meant they would show up to meet with Father Ginter or me without the necessary items and then had to go home, make another appointment, and come back with what we need. This was embarrassing for the students, a waste of time for everyone, and very frustrating.
Therefore, here's how we will do it from now on:
- if your student is applying for admission and/or financial aid at a Catholic high school, and,
- if your student needs a "clergy recommendation" form filled out as part of that process, and,
- if your student and family are registered, contributing members of Saint Hilary Parish,*
please follow this procedure carefully:
-- Download the appropriate Clergy Confidential Recommendation Form from your high school's website.
-- Only fill in the top portions marked TO THE APPLICANT. Namely, your student's name, the grade and school(s) to which they are applying, and the TADS Reference Number if you are applying for financial aid. Father Ginter or I will fill in the rest of the form.
-- Compose a letter, memo, or note describing your student's participation in the life of Saint Hilary Parish. It can be simple, with bullet points, but this greatly helps us know what your child does in terms of volunteering and practicing the Catholic faith, which is what the clergy recommendation form is about.
-- Compose a letter, memo, or note describing your family's participation in the life of Saint Hilary Parish. It can be simple, but should help the priest know how involved you are in your Catholic faith both at home and here in the parish. Bullet points are just fine.
-- For EACH Catholic high school, provide a stamped envelope addressed to the admissions office of that high school.
-- Once all of these items are ready, put them in a large manila envelope and deliver it to Diana Rittenhouse here at the rectory (761 Hilary Drive, where the priests live). Diana will confirm that all of your paperwork is in order, and schedule your appointment with one of the priests. Please include your email address and phone number, so that Diana can contact you to schedule your appointment.
-- If she discovers that you are missing any items, Diana will contact you and will not schedule an appointment until the missing items are in place.
* PLEASE NOTE: if you need a clergy recommendation but are members of another parish (e.g., Star of the Sea in Sausalito, Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Mill Valley), or are members of another faith community (e.g., Jewish, Episcopalian, Muslim, Lutheran, Presbyterian), meet with your own pastor or clergy person rather than Father Ginter and me. We can only vouch for Catholics who are registered and active here at Saint Hilary Church.
God bless,
~ Father Brown
