- California Missions - Mission San Juan Capistrano November 1, 1776. When Father Junipero Serra founded Mission San Diego de Alcala it was his fond dream that a chain of Franciscan stations, each a day's travel apart, would be established extending from San Diego to San Francisco. It was due to his ambition to fill in the gaps between the missions in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, Monterery and San Francisco as rapidly as possible that the Mission San Juan Capistrano in Orange County was created in 1776. This mission is the third on El Camino Real, the ancient "King's Highway," but was the seventh of the twenty-one California missions founded by Father Serra and his brother friars. Father Serra was in Monterery when, on August 10, 1775, he and Don Fernando Rivera, military commander, received from Viceroy Bucareli in Mexico authorization to launch two more missions. It was agreed that one station should be between San Diego and San Gabriel Arcangel in Los Angeles near a spot christened San Francisco Solano by Governor Gaspar de Portola in 1769. This name was not given to the new mission because the various patron saints had been chosen by the viceroy and San Juan Capistrano was next in line for honor. Hence the seventh mission was named after this saint. Fathers Fermin de Lasuen of San Carlos de Monterey and Gregorio Amurrio of San Luis Obispo were appointed by Junipero to establish the new missionary center. Arriving at the site in advance of Father Amurrio, Lasuen erected an arbor, raised a large cross, blessed the ground and on October 30, 1775, offered up the first Holy Mass. Numerous Indians were present and welcomed the priest and his soldiers and set about helping to build a chapel. On the same day that Father Amurrio arrived from San Gabriel with goods and cattle, word was received of the Indian massacre at San Diego de Alcala. Lieutenant Ortega immediately set out for San Diego with soldiers, leaving a bodyguard with the fathers and urging them to make haste and follow him. Work was suspended, the two mission bells buried and with all movable goods on pack mules and two priests hurried south. Due to obstacles placed in their way by Rivera, Fathers Lasuen and Amurrio remained idle in San Diego for almost a year. And then Viceroy Bucareli ordered that the Mission San Juan Capistrano be established as soon as possible. Highly elated, Father Serra himself, at once set out for the abandoned site with a small party. Arriving there he found the cross still standing. He had the bells dued up, hung them in a tree and then range to announce to the Indians that the missionaries had returned. The natives appeared overjoyed, assisted in building an arbor and altar and on November 1, 1776, Father Serra offered up High Mass. This date is accepted as the day on which Mission San Juan Capistrano was founded. On December 19, seven weeks later, in a temporary chapel, Fathers Lasuen erected an arbor, raised a large cross, blessed the ground and on October 30, 1775, offered up the first Holy Mass. Numerous Indians were present and welcomed the priest and his soldiers and set about helping to build a chapel. SANITARY LAUNDRY A. W. CLEAVER, Mgr. K. M. CLEAVER 221 to 227 W.

On his farewell visit to the mission in October, 1783, a year before his death, Father Serra confirmed 221 persons. In 1797, the mission fathers began construction of the most pretentious of all mission buildings. More than 1000 convert Indians lived at the mission at this time. The men were put to work bringing stones from the quarry for the structure. It is related that the Indian woman and children wished to hand a hand in the building and that they trudged to the quarry and back daily bringing pebbles and small stones in their aprons and hands. The neophytes were taught weaving, carpentering and other trades as well as agricultural pursuits, and construction of the magnificent mission temple progressed steadily. It was completed October 18, 1806. Meanwhile numerous adobehouses had been built for Indians and their families. Old records show that in 1809 the fathers had construct-an acqueduct to bring water to the mission. By 1812 the mission was prospering wonderfully. And then an evil fate undid the labor of years. On the morning of December 8, 1812, while early mass was being held, a terrific earthquake hit San Juan Capistrano, levelling the beautiful new church that had been nine years in the making and killing forty Indian worship- City Council Studies Budget Next Year At Meeting Tuesday (Continued from Page 1) to the ordinance committee.

There were only six survivors. Except for removal of debris and necessary repairs, the heart-broken mission fathers undertook no rebuilding until 1814. In 1818 they suffered another tragedy when two Argentine privateers seized Monterey, demanded that the Californians renounce Spain and join the Argentine revolutionists, looted the place and then landed at San Juan Capistrano, where they sacked the mission and burned some buildings. As early as June, 1821, friction developed between the military and civil authorities and the fathers of San Juan Capistrano. Repeated demands for cash and the products of the mission fields were made by the civil government and the priests came to feel, and quite justly, it would seem, that they and their Indian charges were being imposed upon. Their troubles increased with the coming of Jose M. Echeandia, the first native Mexican to become governor of California. One of Echeandia's first acts was to order Fathers Barona and Zalvidea of San Juan Capistrano to swear allegiance to the new constitution of the Federal States of Mexico. This the priests, both of whom had taken the oath of the Independence of Mexico from Spain, refused to do, as did nearly all the Franciscan missionaries. An avowed enemy of the priests, Echeandia set to work to destroy San Juan Capistrano mission. On July 25, 1826, he issued a proclamation emancipating the mission Indians in California. This action proved disastrous to the San Juan Capistrano natives. They became shiftless and disorderly. The governor and his political associates had their eyes on the mission lands and cared not what became of the mission converts. Political upheavels, which reveron Victoria, added to the woes of the mission fathers. In 1833 Governor Figueroa emancipated all the Indians of San Juan Capistrano. He followed this by confiscating all mission lands, part of which was divided among the neophytes and the remainder granted to friends. A mayordomo took charge of the mission. Aged Father Zalvidea, ill and grief stricken, remained to be near his converts. Through successive governmental regimes, San Juan Capistrano continued its decline and in June, 1841, the Indian community was dissolved and most of their lands divided among settlers. The mission became a pueblo by official decree. Father Zalvidea departed for San Luis Rey about the end of 1842 and General Government $32,913.35 $30,000. Advertising $4,300.39 $4,000.

On July 7, 1846, the American flag was raised at Monterey, thirteen years too late to serve San Juan Capistrano and other missions. San Juan Capistrano was returned to the Catholic church by President Lincoln on March 18, 1865. Over a period of 60 years, Mission San Juan Capistrano, known as the "Jewel of the Missions," crumbled into ruins. Its restoration to its present day beauty was started in 1805 by Charles F. Lummis and the Landmarks Club, which he founded, and was completed by Father St. John O'Sullivan, beloved pastor of the mission. Mission San Juan Capistrano is in Orange county almost midway between San Diego and Los Angeles. It is approximately 70 miles from San Diego on El Camino Real, the main State highway. Mission visitors travelling north from Mission San Luis Rey, second of the chain of Franciscan stations stretching from San Diego to Sonoma, leave the charming city of Oceanside and proceed 29 miles to San Juan Capistrano, passing through Serra, named in honor of Father Junipero. The mission is 23 miles south of Santa Ana, county Orange. Leaving this mission motorist enroute Juan Capistrano passes Tustin and Irvine, center amazingly beautiful and citrus district.
