Fray Junipero Serra

Gerard had a nice mention here of Blessed Junipero on his feast day, which was Monday. We were at his gravesite in Carmel on Sunday and attended Mass at Mission San Jose. Alas, the Mass was in the new church and not in the old mission church. But a good neighborhood nonetheless.

All of the California Missions repay a visit any time. And if you're at San Juan Capistrano Mission at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning, you can attend the indult Mass in the Serra chapel. (If you want a seat, you'd better be there by 7:30 a.m.)
