History

[DManA]

“in 1789, a salute gun ignited a thatched roof, and the resulting fire burned half of the buildings, including the entire northern side”

Sounds like “F” troop.

Ping!

Very cool...Thanks for posting..

Nice!

Just a word to the wise: The chapel's footings were discovered as workmen dug to remove redwood tree roots that snaked under the church's foundation and into its walls over the years.

Be careful what you plant next to the house. Or the sewer line.

Blessed Junioero Serra

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.

Amen
