(Webmaster's Note:  This page is under redevelopment to reflect the proper relationship of the individual churches to the new parish.  The "three parishes" shown below have now been united into one, St. Katharine Drexel Parish.  Please check back for the updated page!)

Three churches make up St. Patrick Parish, the largest parish in the Amador Catholic Community. St. Patrick is the mother church in Jackson. St. Bernard and Our Lady of the Pines are the mission churches, located in Volcano and Pioneer, respectively. The parish serves over 800 families in the Jackson and “upcountry” areas (Pine Grove, Volcano, Pioneer). In addition to these three churches, Mass is also celebrated during the summer at Silver Lake Chapel at Silver Lake. Click here to visit the St. Patrick Parish website.

Two churches comprise Immaculate Conception Parish, with the mother church in Sutter Creek. Its mission church, St. Mary of the Mountains, is in Plymouth. Together, the two churches serve over 400 families in the surrounding areas.

Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish is located in Ione, serving approximately 200 families in the area. In addition, the parish serves two stations located in Ione, the Mule Creek State Prison Station and the Preston School of Industry-California Youth Authority Station.
