It is the oldest continuously operating parish and the oldest stone building in California.

The church was founded by the Franciscan Father Junípero Serra as the chapel of Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo on June 3, 1770. Father Serra first established the original mission in Monterey at this location on June 3, 1770, near the native village of Tamo.

Serra relocated the mission to its current location in the present-day town of Carmel. The new mission was named Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo
