Mission Basilica San Buenaventura 1782

Please see all info about the Mission: www.sanbuenaventuramission.org

Pets are not normally permitted in the church itself, unless a service dog. Pets that are well maintained are welcome in the garden as long as no disturbance is experienced.

Several thoughts...Jesus went to the Temple and paid the Temple tax of his day. When you come for a scheduled Mass, there is no entry fee. When you come otherwise, yes a we charged...$2 for children, $5 for adults. The Missions, unlike most churches are places of pilgrimage and tourism. We leave the lights on all day and keep the grounds in good repair and that cost $$$$ someone has to help with the upkeep of a 239 year old church grounds. You are welcome to come, and the fee helps keep the church clean so that you can pray in a clean, safe and restored place.

I agree with Catherine, all of them have their own personality. This one is small and simple but the gardens are nice. My favorite is the one in Carmel.

Firstly the original quadrangles was never built to last...a temporary outpost until all could be rebuilt in stone which never happened. By mid 1800s the quadrangle and related buildings were in decay and then finally torn down as the city began to be established. The Mexican Gov't sold off the lands associated with the Missions some of which became land grants. For more info see the Mission website: www.sanbuenaventuramission.org

Depends on age. Not pricey though.

The mass in Spanish is 6:30 PM this day in O'Brien Hall. In English 5:30 PM in the mission. And look at website www. sanbuenaventuramission.org

Fantastic! It was founded on March 31, in 1782 it's a really beautiful church inside and the gardens are nice and tranquil...

No, there is nothing in the history of Mission San Buenaventura that indicates any Chumash revolts occurred here.

The current Mission church was built with the dimensions of 154 feet long by 40 feet wide, using walls 6 1/2 feet thick. The quadrangle here was considered small because this Mission allowed its neophytes (converts) to live in their own homes or build huts nearby. Unfortunately, the quadrangle no longer exists so if you're asking for the perimeter of the entire complex, that would be difficult.

As he was establishing the Camino Real, Father-President Junipero Serra had planned on Mission San Buenaventura to be his 3rd mission. It would have been approximately half way between his first two missions established, Mission San Diego (1st) and Mission San Carlos at Carmel (2nd). Although the Catholic Church founded each mission, it was Spain that funded their costs. The Spanish governor refused to provide the soldiers necessary for mission safety. So its founding was delayed. The Camino Real was about 650 miles long, from San Diego to San Francisco. As missions were being founded,, the plan was to eventually build them so that they would be one day's ride apart (or 3 days walk) so that travelers would have a safe place to spend each night. Mission San Buenaventura was eventually founded as the 9th of 21 missions. But its reason for founding was the same -- to half the distance between two established missions in order to give a safe place for travelers.

Mission San Buenaventura would have constructed by the native Chumash neophytes who used sun-dried mud and straw bricks called adobe. Many of the smaller, earlier mission buildings along the Camino Real would have had thatch roofs. But after several missions were attacked in native uprisings and burned down to the ground, the use of clay tile roofs was developed. Not only did the fired clay tiles protect missions from flaming arrows, the roof tiles also protected the adobe walls. Because adobe was only sun-dried, they weren't very durable when wet.

It was destroyed in the fire of1793 and rebuilt just in time for the 1812 earthquake

I do not know. - - - However, their website and or a local library would be a good starting place ☺

Juniper Serra

Within the lands of the native Chumash, the Spanish built several Missions from 1772 through 1804 at San Luis Obispo, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, La Purisima and Santa Inez. The Chumash Revolt of 1824 occurred when the native population rebelled against the Spanish and Mexican control when a soldier beat a young neophyte at Mission Santa Inez. Much of Mission Santa Inez was burned to the ground. At Mission Santa Barbara, the Chumash temporarily took control (without bloodshed) before retreating to the mountains. At Mission La Purisima, though, soldiers eventually had to battle the Chumash who had taken control, resulting in deaths on both sides. Many of the surviving rebels also fled to the mountains after losing control. The Chumash Revolt did not physically impact Mission San Buenaventura as much as the other 3 missions.

After Father Serra established his 1st mission in San Diego and the 2nd mission at Mission San Carlos Borromeo Carmelo (in Carmel), Mission San Buenaventura was planned to founded in 1770 as the 3rd mission along the Camino Real---because it was the mid-point between San Diego and Carmel. But it wasn't built until 1782 as the 9th mission. Its founding was delayed due to a lack of Spanish soldiers needed as escorts. The Spanish governor in Alta California had refused military protection, following orders from the King of Spain. Mission San Buenaventura was founded at the site where the explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo had claimed the lands for Spain in 1732. The first wooden church made from poles and thatch burned down in 1792. Construction of the current adobe and stone church took 15 years, completed in 1809.

This is the 9th and last mission that Father Junipero Serra founded in 1782.

It was placed at this site to be halfway between Mission San Diego (1st mission) and Mission San Carlos/Carmel (2nd mission). Missions were established to reduce distance, to eventually be only one day's ride (or 3 days walking) apart, mostly for safety reasons. Missions were also established to eventually create towns, solidifying Spanish control of the lands. Planned to originally be the 3rd mission by Father Serra in the Camino Real chain, it wasn't actually founded until the 9th. The Spanish governor of Alta California refused the necessary soldiers, postponing its founding.

You should vista the mission that your doing and take pictures. Your school usually lets you know the do's and don't. But I myself I've helped with Four missions. You can get a kit at Michael's but we like to make to the mission ourselves without a kit. You can use clay, cardboard, paint, small trees, pictures that you take while your visiting your mission or from books,ect. Have fun and you'll learn a lot. But let your child do most of the work.
