Text of the plaque:
"The Rev. Lawrence H. Farrell
Monterey's public priest -- 1907-1983
A true paisano, native son of Monterey and jealous guardian of the old pueblo's rich heritage. Army chaplain, prison padre, parish priest, linguist, poet, painter, sculptor, historian, writer, and wit, equally at home at pulpit or lectern. He of the golden voice, the swirling cape and flowing beard, bon vivant and great humanitarian. A kindly man and much loved.
Given with deep affection by:
the City of Monterey and the Monterey History
and Art Association
April 23, 1984"
