It is rare that canonizations take place outside of Rome, so this is a very special event. I would like to share some details with you about our newest American saint. He was born at Petra, Majorca, Spain, November 24, 1713, a son of Antonio Nadal Serra and Margarita Rosa Ferrer who spent their lives as farmers, Junípero Serra was baptized on the same day at St. Peter’s Church and was given the name Miguel José. Serra was admitted as a novice at the Franciscan Convento de Jesús in Palma on September 14, 1730, and made his profession on September 15, the following year. He chose the name Junípero in memory of the brother companion of St. Francis. He was ordained to the priesthood in December 1738. On April 13, 1749, with Francisco Palóu, Serra sailed for America. He landed in Vera Cruz, Mexico on December 7, 1749. Serra learned the Otomí language and used a visual method of teaching religion. He was zealous in preaching and in promoting both liturgical and popular devotions. He succeeded in bringing the Pame people to practice the faith in an exemplary way. Economically his mission prospered through the introduction of domestic animals, the fostering of agriculture, and the development of commerce. Serra enthusiastically volunteered in 1768 to join expeditions to Upper California. On March 28, 1769, Serra left the mission at Loreto on mule-back, arriving at San Diego on July 1. Serra devoted the next 15 years of his life to evangelical work in Upper California. During that period he founded nine missions: San Diego, July 16, 1769; San Carlos, Monterey-Carmel, June 3, 1770; San Antonio, July 14, 1771; San Gabriel, September 8, 1771; San Luis Obispo, September 1, 1772, San Francisco, October 9, 1776; San Juan Capistrano, November 1, 1776; Santa Clara, January 12, 1777; and San Buenaventura, March 31, 1782. Serra died at Mission San Carlos, August 28, 1784, at the age of 70 and is buried in the floor of the sanctuary of the church he had built. On September 25, 1988 he was beatified by St. John Paul II. Pope Francis canonized Serra on September 23, 2015. God Bless, Msgr. Martin Welcome Come in aſter Mass and receive a dollar off of your meal! Wolfe-Bayview Funeral Homes & Crematory, Inc.
