The Santa Rosa Chapel has held its place above Cambria since 1870, and after the San Luis Obispo and San Miguel missions, is the oldest church in this county. The final Mass was celebrated in the chapel on May 26, 1963.

Glowing woodwork, gleaming white walls and beautifully restored statuary are the result of efforts by Marina Curti and Clementine Newman and their Santa Rosa Chapel committee – results that make the old church so inviting for weddings and other celebrations. The chapel was rededicated for community use on Sept. 16, 1984 and today remains a treasured site of non-denominational weddings, a one-of-a-kind location that offers a step back in time and a glimpse of graceful days gone by.
