A Brief Note About our Mission and Helpful Information: Mass and the sacraments have been celebrated continuously at Mission San Juan Bautista since its founding in 1797. Known as “The Music Mission” for the excellence of the music the early Christian native peoples performed, it is the largest of the 21 California mission churches and the only one with three aisles.

First, the Mission San Juan Bautista Preservation Fund continues to pray for those in our community and throughout the world who are struggling with the unprecedented outbreak of the Coronavirus and are wishing for healing and a full recovery for all. And in spite of the onslaught of rain this last week, there is a silver lining; The Mission is still standing and the roof is holding, perhaps barely, but holding none the less…for now.

We organized, debated, and shared a vision to save the Mission. We knew it would be hard, the hardest being the unknown. So we came up with a prayer to help us through.
