Our California Mission pilgrimage continues (though I am a couple weeks behind on getting the pictures up). Today, I have Mission San Buenaventura. This mission was the 9th founded by Blessed Junipero Serra in 1782. It is one of six missions in the Los Angeles Archdiocese (San Gabriel, San Fernando, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, Santa Ines, La Purisima Concepcion). As with most of the missions it is still an active parish.

California fourth graders have to do reports on the Missions as part of California history. Fourth graders are welcome to use my images for their reports (if allowed by their teachers).
