One of the 21 Spanish missions of California and one of the 2 missions in the outskirts of LA. A couple of distinct features of this church is the bell wall at its side which has 6 of it just facing Mission Road; and its facade which is very simple and modest. It is devastating that the old church was ravaged by arson fire a couple of years ago. Sharing you some pictures I took 7 years ago, I was hoping I have more. But I'm disappointed that this all I got.. None the less, kudos to all the donors who are actively helping in the restoration of this one of a kind mission! Looking forward for its re-opening soon and take more pictures.

I don't know can you ask someone else Rita Farfsing?
Of course.
As the 4th Mission established in 1771, Father Junipero Serra (as Father President) is credited for the founding of the first 9 missions along the Camino Real. Technically though, the Catholic priests Fray Angel Francisico de Sonera and Fray Pedro Benito Cambon chose this site. The planned site by Father Serra was to have it built along the Rio de los Trembroles (River of Earthquakes, now called the Santa Ana River) but the priests changed its location to the Rio Hondo.
Mission San Gabriel was the 4th mission, founded by Father Junipero Serra in 1771. The current church was built between 1791-1805, taking 14 years to build. Unlike most of the missions made of adobe, San Gabriel was made from stone and brick. The local native tribes were the Tongvas and Chumash and, undoubtedly, the local neophytes (converts) did most of the labor.
As the Spanish King Carlos III tried to establish ownership of the lands called Alta California, there were two means to achieve his goal. One was with soldiers protecting the coastline with military garrisons located in areas like San Diego Bay. The second (and cheaper) was with the establishment of missions, while also serving to convert native villages to Catholicism. With the Franciscans and Father Junipero Serra, a 'King's Road' (Camino Real) was developed, linking each mission for hundreds of miles. Each mission was purposely built to reduce travel between each other, eventually so they were only one day's ride apart. Strategically, Mission San Gabriel was built in an area that had a reliable water source (to become self sufficient in production), was located near a native population (Tongvas and Chumash) for converts (and labor), and was placed here to help develop the King's Road.
Not yet at this time but I will know next month.
Dear Patrons: Thank you for your interest in Mission San Gabriel. On July 11, 2020, Mission San Gabriel suffered an arson fire and we have been restoring our beloved Church since then. We are scheduled to host a Mass of Thanksgiving on Saturday, September 10, 2020 and on track to reopen the Church to the public shortly afterwards. Thank you for your patience as we look to restore this 246 year old treasure. Mission San Gabriel Staff.
Thank you for reaching out to Mission San Gabriel Arcángel. Due to the fire, the Mission, gardens, museum, and Gift Shop are closed to the public. There is a public park adjacent to the Mission where you can see the building that is behind the construction site. However, we plan to reopen in late August, 2022. Thanks again.
Beautiful surroundings, Plays and shows at the theater. Live music. Good restaurants. Great for date night or evening strolls.
In English at 5:30 pm and then miss midnight.
I suggest to call them directly to get the correct answer
According to the real facts about the Missions, San Gabriel Mission did not have soldiers to help to convert the Native people in the region to become Catholics. However, the Missions in Texas did have soldiers involved to catch Natives that tried to escape from the Missions doctrine. Check Wikipedia for more info.
No but they have people vending outside. Mainly fast food and snacks.
I would call the mission or look up their website directly for that type of information. Beautiful mission by the way.
I left a message. Thanks

The Franciscan munks who helped establish the mission.
The Spaniards under Fr. Junipero Serra. 1700s.
Yes Los Angeles County in the city of San Gabriel
Founded in the 1700s by Spanish missionaries who accompanied explorers in the New World. They began in Mexico a d established missions about one days horseback ride apart up the coast beginning in San Diego. San Gabriel Mission still functions as a Catholic church with weddings, baptisms, funerals, etc. in the old buildings. Very picturesque.
Franciscan Order
A chance to learn about the struggles of

I don't understand your question???

Todavia, sorry just love that word. Go to that mission. It is almost inactive from outward appearance. Open the door and life is yours.
The current location of Mission San Gabriel is not the original location. Founded in 1771, the Mission was built along the Rio de los Tremblores (now the Santa Ana River). In 1776, a massive flood devastated the Mission. It was moved to its current location to be out of the flood plain, higher in elevation, closer to the mountains. Like all of the missions built along the Camino Real, missions were built with specific requirements. They needed to be near a stable water source, have fertile lands in order to grow crops, and be situated near Native American villages. Converting natives (becoming neophytes) were necessary to establish profitable missions. And as the Father-President sought to build missions along the Camino Real from San Diego to San Francisco, missions were planned so that eventually each mission would be a day's ride so that travelers would have a safe place to stay each night. Not all Native Americans were friendly.
They do not

In between San Fernando and San Juan Capistrano Next would be San Luis Rey, Buenaventura, San Diego, and Santa Barbara.
An addition to the previous thorough answer. The Native Americans did everything because technically they were slaves at the missions. They also had a high death rate due to the hard work and poor diet, unsanitary living conditions, as well as expired to European diseases like smallpox. Knowing why they did things at the mission is an important part of what they did.

The one that doesn't exist anymore? In 1812, a devastating 7.5 double earthquake (15 minutes apart) occured in California along the San Andreas Fault. Within the California mission chain, many were either extensively damaged or destroyed. At Mission San Gabriel, this massive Wrightwood Earthquake collapsed its 3-bell bell tower along the chapel's east wall (among other structures). With subsequent mission reconstruction, a 6-bell wall (the campanario) was built, but at a different location, on the other side of the mission. Historically, there are no records, drawings, etc showing the original bell tower. No one now knows what it looked like.
Luna's Mex restaurant is a block away.
Though it was founded by the Spanish Catholic Church, it would have been the neophytes (converts) from the local native villages who did the physical work, the Tongvas and the Chumash tribes.
I believe what you might mean refers to the "Orders" within the Catholic Church. When Spanish conversion of the Americas began, Spain sent missionaries from the Jesuit Order. They founded many of the missions within Baja California (now Mexico). The Spanish King Carlos III feared that the Jesuits in Baja were "more faithful" to the Pope in Italy, and banished the Jesuits from the Americas. The Spanish King then placed the Franciscan Order in charge of the existing missions within Baja. Franciscan Father Junipero Serra was placed in charge. After founding one mission in Baja, Fr Serra decided to look north, to Alta California in hopes of saving many more souls. To him, there were very few unconverted left in Baja. So Father Serra turned over control of Baja California to the Dominican Order, choosing instead to travel north to the unknown Alta region to begin the construction of a new Camino Real (the Kings Road), founding a series of new missions looking for converts.
