History
In 1772, Franciscan Father Juan Crespi, celebrated Mass near a swamp that would one day become Lake Merritt in Oakland. Mission San Jose would remain the only Catholic parish on the opposite coast from San Francisco, for the next 64 years. In 1869, St. Paul Church in San Pablo was named the first parish in the present Contra Costa County. Due to the rapid growth in population throughout northern California in 1962, the Holy See carved three new dioceses Oakland, Santa Rosa, and Stockton from the Archdiocese of San Francisco. This is how we know the Diocese to be today 2
