Mission Restoration Fund
Woke up before dawn this morning to news that our beloved San Gabriel Mission, founded by St. JunÃpero Serra in 1771, was burning. Thank God no one is hurt. The roof is destroyed and there is much damage in the old church. St. JunÃpero, pray for this city, this state, and this country that you helped to found.
-Archbishop Gomez, July 11

The mission was founded in 1771 by Franciscan missionary St. JunÃpero Serra, the fourth mission in present-day California founded by the future saint. Your gift to support the San Gabriel Mission Restoration Fund will help us preserve this part of history and honor our missionary calling.
