St. Malachy Roman Catholic Church

About this church

Weekend liturgies at St. Malachy Roman Catholic Church begin at 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Sunday brings English Masses at 8 and 10 a.m. and Spanish Mass at noon. A 2 p.m. Latin Mass is held on the first, second, third, and fifth Sundays; on fourth Sundays the parish directs Latin-Mass worshipers to Our Lady of Lourdes in California City. Weekday worship includes a 9 a.m. Monday Communion service, Mass at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and Mass at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Saturday Reconciliation runs from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m., while Friday Eucharistic Adoration follows morning Mass from 9:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The parish serves the Tehachapi Mountains within the Diocese of Fresno and publishes a detailed history of the Catholic community's development. Religious education includes children's catechesis, sacramental preparation, and the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults. The current children's schedule lists Wednesday classes from 4 to 5 p.m. for ages five through thirteen; OCIA begins in September and follows its own dated calendar, so neither should be treated as year-round without confirmation. Parish life also includes liturgical ministries, men's fellowship, St. Vincent de Paul youth service, hospitality, and seasonal committees. Visitors have English, Spanish, and scheduled Latin options, but Latin-Mass attendees especially should check which Sunday of the month applies before driving to the Tehachapi church.
