“We are blessed to have Central Coast Catholic as a place to find Catholic events in our county as well as those in other counties. The Discalced Carmelite Seculars of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Community has been blessed through this site, too. Our Community now has a couple of guests interested in our way of life of prayer and union with God due to CCC graciously posting our flier.

May God bless and reward you, Central Coast Catholic!
“It is always a pleasant reminder it is Friday, when I get a Central Coast Catholic newsletter in my inbox! I just opened my computer to look up what time Masses were this Sunday in a nearby town, and perfect, there was the email with all the news of Catholic happenings in my area. I find it so interesting, I often read several sections of various geographic areas and get a feel for what is happening not only in Monterey County, but up and down the coast. Made me realize I really miss reading the newspaper the diocese used to distribute, and this is even better, and comes to my inbox weekly. I also have liked the professional and objective way news events and developments are handled. And they have done a great job, and been generous, in sharing news of opportunities I have submitted to them as well. Thank you for this gift to those of us in this diocese!”

“Thank you so much for producing the CentralCoastCatholic.net newsletter. It is exactly what I have been needing in order to feel like part of something bigger than my small parish— my larger Church family.
Lonni Trykowski, Parishioner of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Carmel Valley
“I found this newsletter to be clear, uncluttered, inspiring, and full of useful information, such as the summarized Mass times throughout the diocese, for those of us whose variable work schedules sometimes necessitate going to Mass wherever and whenever we can. I also like the concept of accepting news about events and activities from all the Monterey parishes and other faith-based communities […] so we can learn from each other, make personal connections, join in prayer, and support each other’s activities. This is an effective way to generate and sustain interest and enthusiasm for our Catholic faith as we strive to practice it in our community.
“Thank you again for your time and effort in undertaking the production of CentralCoastCatholic.net. I look forward to receiving it in the future, and sharing it with others…”
