"I think this was the Flagship the Mother Church where much of the time was spent for Fray Junipero Serra. Natives who accepted his ideas, learned irrigation, horticulture, animal husbandry and vineyards. He improved the life style for so many, they were called Gabrileños. Seems to come to mind that Randolph Hearst invested a lot of money to redo and renovate a lot oft he mission churches in Caifornia. But... this will be the first of many other churches to burn. China does this well. First they have to get rid of religion and erase history."

One of my great-grandmothers was Gabrieleño. This is just heartbreaking.
