City seeks faith leaders to offer invocations at council meetings

By Paso Robles Press · Tue Dec 02 2025

PASO ROBLES — The City of Paso Robles is inviting local churches, temples, synagogues, and other faith-based organizations to lead invocations at City Council meetings in 2026. Meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month, and participating leaders may offer a prayer or reflection of their choice, welcoming a broad range of faith traditions.

The practice follows a 2014 U.S. Supreme Court ruling confirming that sectarian invocations are permissible. Paso Robles is expanding this long-standing tradition by encouraging more participation from local faith communities.

Those interested in leading an invocation in 2026 may contact the City Clerk’s Office at (805) 237-3960 or cityclerk@prcity.com for available dates and additional details.
