About San Carlos Cathedral Parish

San Carlos Cathedral Parish, a vibrant Catholic Community, is one of the most historically significant sites not only in Monterey, but also in the Western United States.  Today, a very welcoming, active parish community, it strives to serve its own members, as well as reaching out to those in need.  This community has over 40 ministries which do everything from teaching children and youth to serving the elderly and homeless.  The Loaves and Fishes Outreach Ministry serves hot meals twice weekly to those without shelter. It oversees the Food Pantry (located on Church property), with other church communities in Monterey, which assists an average of 300 households each month. The Cibo dinner event will help San Carlos Cathedral Parish to continue its many ministries in our local area.  San Carlos Cathedral is open every day and welcomes visitors.  See www.sancarloscathedral.org for more information or to arrange a docent-led tour.
