About St. Margaret Mary's in Oakland

The Most Reverend Allen H. Vigneron, Bishop of the Diocese of Oakland,  invited the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest to the Diocese of Oakland in January, 2005. Father Jean-Marie Moreau has been appointed his Episcopal Delegate for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite in September 2008. Fr. Moreau follows Fr. Michael Wiener, who served in this post from January 2005 to September 2008.

Since the arrival of the Institute in 2005, Holy Mass in the Classical Roman Rite is offered every day, and all the sacraments made available in the Classical Roman Rite once again at the parish of St. Margaret Mary, whose pastor is Father Stanislaw Zak.
