Our interest in the California Missions began with our residence in California, where anyone who travels along El Camino Real from San Diego to Sonoma, is tempted to stop and enjoy a sample of California history by visiting at least one of its twenty-one missions.
When we traveled to Assisi and learned more of the story of St. Francis, whose Order, the Franciscans, founded the California missions, we were even more intrigued. We read about the amazing and dedicated founder, Fray Junípero Serra, and we decided to see if we could find the reflections of grace we have been looking for, in the California Missions. This video pilgrimage will begin in our own backyard, with Mission San Rafael Arcángel. From there we will journey down the California Coast, shooting the picturesque missions, and looking for the people who love them, hoping they will tell us their stories.
Hi! This is Marti. Shalom!
Hi Marti, What are you up to? Where are you? Is this our Marti?
I send Love, Alex
