The Mission was founded on November 1, 1776 by Padre Junipero Serra as the seventh in the chain of the 21 California missions established by Spain, and is Orange County’s only mission.
Every year, over 50,000 students visit the Mission and engage in an inspirational learning experience via the Mission Matters programming, as part of their State required California history studies.
