CHAPEL HISTORY

This chapel had its beginnings In the early 1970’s when a group of concerned Catholics contacted Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and requested him to send one of his priests to provide the traditional Mass to them in Bakersfield. Archbishop Lefebvre agreed, and the first Masses were offered in the homes of the faithful.

When the homes became too small to accommodate the increasing numbers of faithful attending, conference rooms were rented for the celebration of Mass. Finally, in the mid 1980’s, a former Protestant building was purchased and remodeled for Catholic worship and serves to this day as St. Michael’s Chapel. The chapel complex now includes an office for the pastor, a multi-purpose room and bookstore, while the average attendance numbers 50 faithful.
