Spanish friars established 21 missions to convert local Native Americans into Christians along California coast in late 18th and early 19th centuries. The mission chain is about 600 miles long, which starts from San Diego and ends in Sonoma (north of San Francisco). A footpath called El Camino Real ("The King's Highway") linked the 21 missions together. Two centuries later the dirt road became Highway 101. Quite a few cities in California were named from the names of the missions there like San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Jose, San Francisco, etc.
The first mission I have visited is Mission San Diego de Alcalá that was the first mission established in California. Now on this trip I am going to visit more.
I lit a candle and said a prayer for my love one to have more wisdom and focus on meaningful things in Mission San Luis Rey de Francia in Oceanside.
I prayed for peace and health at Father Serra Chapel and wrote a prayer for the patients who are still suffering from cancer at St. Peregrine Chapel in Mission San Juan Capistrano.
