Here are the schedules of some Catholic parishes from the Diocese of San Diego for Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday. Most are from North County. There are a few as far south as San Diego.
Please click on the link for the church you may want to attend, and double check the
schedule on its website or online bulletin before you go. There may be changes as late as right before Easter, and there may be mistakes in the bulletin I used, or mistakes in my copying the information from the bulletin, so please check the parish's latest website information or bulletin before you go.
If you want to look for a parish's regular Mass schedule or for
parishes in another location within the Diocese of San Diego, check the
Diocesan website.
