Calvary Episcopal Church - Santa Cruz, CA - Anglican and Episcopal Churches on Waymarking.com

"Episcopal services were relative latecomers to the religious scene in Santa Cruz. The first service was held in the courtroom in May, 1862, and only three people received the sacrament! By the time the Rev. Loop arrived in July of 1863, however, the tiny congregation had grown, and a movement was afoot to build Santa Cruz’s first Episcopal parish. On Easter Monday, 1864, a small group of Episcopalians met and declared their intent to establish a Protestant Episcopal Church in Santa Cruz under the auspices of the PECUSA and the Diocese of California. Calvary was chosen as the name of the new parish, for its close association with the meaning of Santa Cruz - “Holy Cross”." (visit link)
