Join us for a pilgrimage!
Mission Pilgrimage to San Diego de Alcalá
10818 San Diego Mission Rd, San Diego, CA 92108
Pilgrimages has
been a large part of Catholic life for many in the past and as
Californians we have an opportunity that most other Americans don't:
to make a local pilgrimage. The Lenten season is perfect for doing so as well.
We invite you to join us on Friday evening, March 17th 2023 at the Mission San Diego de Alcalá. We will be attending the mission parish's daily mass at 5:30pm and in praying the Stations of the Cross. Afterwards we will gather to pray the Rosary and sing hymns to commemorate California's Catholic past and to pray for her conversion.
The missions are an important part of California's history. The San Diego mission was the first of the 21. Founded by Franciscan priest Saint Junipero Serra as a part of a project by Carlos III of Spain to establish a Spanish foothold further up north in response to exploration and hopes of expansion by the Russian Empire. San Diego de Alcalá was founded on July 16th, 1769 and is still alive as a fully functional Catholic parish and basilica. The missions are a great memorial to California's history as a Catholic and Spanish colony and a starting point in our prayers for the conversion of our homeland and the rest of the United States.
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
San Junipero Serra. Reza por nosotros.
God save America.
