St. Monica

St. Monica is a vibrant Catholic community in Santa Monica, California. Known locally for the strength of our ministries, including a variety of outreach programs, the community includes a parish, High School and Elementary School. From our origins as a small parish church in 1886, we have grown to one of the largest-and most active-faith communities in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. We are blessed by many to help us provide ministries that include Community Life programs for parishioners, Care and Justice programs to help those in need, and Adult Enrichment programs for individuals seeking to deepen their knowledge and faith. Known for the vitality of Liturgical Services, we warmly invite you to attend one of our Sunday or weekday Masses. Our main building, at 7th and California Streets, was erected in 1926 and was featured in the 1944 film classic, "Going My Way" with Bing Crosby. St. Monica Catholic Community welcomes you to learn more about us at our information booths after Mass on Sunday. To learn more about our patron saint of St. Monica, click here.
