All Souls Day

The St. Catherine of Siena Cemetery is located overlooking the Carquinez Straight on the old road to Port Costa. It is the final resting place for more than 2,500 local parishioners. The crypts and monuments record the names of many early settlers and prominent families dating back to the 1800s through today. Don Juan Salvio Pacheco co-founder of Concord is buried here as well as Sam (Simon) Rodia who designed and built the famous Watts Towers in Los Angeles to name a couple.
