Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano Parish is the spiritual home for many who experience a special sense of connection with the historical legacy begun here by Father Junipero Serra in 1776.
On establishing the Missions, Father Serra adopted the motto “siempre adelante” or “always forward.” This phrase has become pervasive in the life of Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano, as we endeavor as a community of faith to always be faithful to that original call to move forward in Christ.
As pastor, I welcome those who wish to be active, participating and intentional members of the Mission Basilica Parish.
