Founder's Day at the Carmel Mission

The feast day of Bl. Junipero Serra is coming up (July 1) and the Carmel Mission Basilica will be celebrating Founder’s Day on Saturday, June 28. There is an opening ceremony at noon in the Basilica and the grounds will be open until 5pm. (You can tour the grounds, museum and the burial place of Bl. Serra free of charge.) “Fr. Serra” will also be strolling the grounds and there will be games, tortilla making, Spanish colonial horses, acorn grinding etc. BBQ food will be sold throughout the day but there is an actual dinner (tickets needed) after Founders Day Mass is at 5:30. It should be enjoyable and a great way to learn more about Fr. Serra and his life. So if you are in the area, be sure to stop by!
