On most Sundays, we hold regular Sunday Services starting at 10 AM. Once a month, there is a special monthly memorial service called Shotsuki Service which is often combined with special events. Our next major service will be on May 12, 2024 at 2 PM. On that day, we will be observing Gotan-e which celebrates the birth of our founder Shinran Shonin in 1173. We will also observe our May Monthly memorial service.

The following Sunday, May 19, 2024, there will be no in-person service. Instead, we encourage you to watch the Coast District Gotan-e Service and BCA 125th anniversary at San Jose Betsuin via their YouTube Channel. The service starts at 10 AM. 

We are currently planning our next big public event, the Salinas Obon Festival. It will take place on the last Sunday in July (July 28, 2024) from 12 PM to 5 PM.

On October 12, 2024 (Saturday) we will be celebrating our 100th anniversary.
