Rich in heritage, Calvary Cemetery has been a peaceful resting place for Catholics in Santa Barbara since the late 19th century. The sprawling acres still reflect the care of Calvary’s founder, a missionary priest who was also a botanist. Be inspired by Calvary’s traditional works of religious art – and amazed by the beauty of the Santa Ynez Mountains, which stand as the cemetery’s natural backdrop. Join us for special Masses and prayer events during the year.
