Not quite a “founding father” in the usual sense, but certainly a founding father of California.

LOLOLOL! Each mission was located one day’s horseback ride from the next one in the chain. Not a bad plan.

I don’t think the Pope quite gets the concept of the Founding Fathers. Of course, with his broader notion, St. Herman of Alaska would have to count, too.

Like it or not, he introduced European Christian culture in California as much as the Puritans did in New England. Just the way it was.

What about Marquette, Joliet and Baraga did they not do more for the indigenous than Serra? Oh wait I forget this has to do with the Spanish, and this pope is obvilious to anything other then the history of spain and the Catholic Church

In His Steps Prayer
"Walk with Blessed Junipero Serra as he traces our Lord's footsteps in search of workers for the vineyard."
Holy Spirit, you are the love and light of the world. Continue to give all Serrans the courage and generosity to respond ardently to your call.
With one voice now, all Serrans say, "Here I am Lord." Fire each of us with a renewed spirit and enthusiasm to work for vocations for our Church.
Deepen our commitment to the Serran mission that we may, indeed, walk "in his steps" on our journey.
Father, we ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord, through the intercession of Blessed Junipero Serra and Mary, the Mother of the Church and religious vocations.

To the Pope I say, lighten up Fancis! Serra was no Founding Father! Lighten up. The Pope is just making a little pun on Junipero Serra's priestly title.
