Vision:
We are called to be and to become a loving family centered in Jesus.

We acknowledge and accept that each of us is unique and has special gifts from the Holy Spirit.

We wish to nurture, develop and share these gifts within and for the Body of Christ.

Having been called by Baptism into the Body, we celebrate our relationship in Word, Sacrament and Family Celebration. We are then sent to call others to Christ through who we are and what we do.

We recognize Christ's call to be one in Him and commit outselves to this way of life.

History:
The history of St. Louis de Montfort Catholic Church officially began on March 22, 1963. The Archbishop of Los Angeles, Francis Cardinal McIntyre, seeing the ever-increasing growth in the Orcutt-Santa Maria area, divided St. Mary's parish into two parts. St. Louis de Montfort was the name given to the southern part, extending north to Betteravia Rd., and south to Los Alamos; from Black Rd., and Highway 1 on the west across the valley to the Cuyama Hills in the east. Fr Vincent McCabe, Associate Pastor at St. Mary's was named the first pastor of St. Louis.

Until the planned facilities on Clark and Harp could be built, Fr McCabe conducted services in an old airport mess hall at Goodwin and Industrial Roads. In January of 1964, an 8-classroom grammar school was constructed. Services were then move d over to the School, using the present 6th, 7th and 8th grade classrooms for a Church. In September of 1964, the school opened for grades 1-4 and gradually built up to an eight-grade curriculum. The school was staffed then and now by the Daughters of Mary and Joseph.
