Veneration of the Blessed Junípero Serra
The Blessed Serra founded San Diego 240 years ago, nine missions, opened the entire west coast to settlement and exploration, constantly visited the missions from San Diego to San Francisco, traveling more than 600 miles in the process, in order to confirm all who had been baptized. He suffered intensely from his crippled leg and from his chest, yet he would use no remedies. He confirmed 5,309 persons, who, with but few exceptions, were Indians ("neophytes") converted during the 14 years from 1770.
In short he's a saint, the pope hasn't gotten around to saying it yet, this group is for all the people who love him and want to carry on the noble Franciscans mission of mission work and devotion to god.
