“faith in the valley
celebrating 150 years”

Faith in the Valley” is a loving commemorative of the sesqui-centennial of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in the Napa Valley.

Through the words and photographs, it presents a fascinating overview of 150 years since the founding of the church in the heart of the city of Napa. From a letter home to Dublin by an Irish missionary, Father J. J. Largan, who opened the first sacramental record books, giving a vivid picture of Napa in 1858, to dozens of photographs of the people and the pastors who were shepherds to the growing multi-ethnic congregation, “Faith in the Valley” is a portrait of the generations of people and families who have come to Napa and were drawn together by their faith. Many of the wonderful faith heritage stories are offered in English and Spanish.
