Parroquia de San Lucas Evangelista Catholic Church – Iglesia Catolica de Cabo San Lucas, Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Mexico
Panoramic view of the Iglesia de Cabo San Lucas Catholic Church in downtown Cabo
Catholic Church in Cabo San Lucas for Spanish and bi-lingual masses.
This church was constructed in 1730 by a Spanish missionary. Renovations have been done over the years but the structure is rather simple. It is a tribute to the local history because little has changed in its appearance since the original construction. There is no air conditioning, only ceiling fans for cooling. It can be quite warm in the summer.
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Old Town, San Diego, California
On July 22, 1917 the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church was opened for divine worship. Here is a bit of history. It was here on September 28, 1542 that the first European, the noble Captain Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo and his heroic crew landed from two ships, San Salvador and Victoria. Here too, the daring Spanish navigator, Captain Sebastian Vizcaino entered the harbor on November 10, 1602 with three ships and anchored opposite the site of Old Town. Read more here.

Two days later, on the Feast of Saint Didacus, O.F.M., or San Diego, Vizcaino with three Carmelite Fathers, and some officers accompanied by their men stepped ashore here. In a tent, quickly prepared for that purpose, the three Carmelites on that day, for the first time in the history of California, celebrated Holy Mass in thanksgiving for their safe arrival.

On July 22, 1917 the church was opened for divine worship. The Solemn Dedication took place on July 16, 1919 at the hands of Right Reverend John C. Cantwell, D.D., Bishop of Los Angeles and San Diego. The Church has been in continuous operation since that time and the ties to the Founding Fathers remain strong. In fact, two of the original bells of the San Diego Mission still summon the faithful to worship: one in the Mission San Diego de Alcala in Mission Valley, the other one, here in the bell tower of Immaculate Conception Church in Old Town. And here, upon completion of the Church renovation in July 1997, the Mission Bell began ringing again in Old Town. This parish is the oldest in Alta California.

Since Old Town has little housing, our parish consists of Catholics from throughout San Diego who have chosen to make this first parish their own parish. This parish relies on the generosity of its visitors to sustain this holy shrine. You may make a donation in any of the candle boxes. Please contact the church to find out how to help.
The Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe is celebrated at Iglesia Catolica Santuario de Guadalupe (Catholic Church) on December 12th with masses, fairs, parades, fireworks, etc. This temple was consecrated on January 21, 1991 in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe by the Honorable Bishop Dr. Don Rafael Leon Villegas.
