History of Mission
San Gabriel
The year 1921 marks the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of San Gabriel Mission. One
hundred and fifty years ago the brown robed Sons of St. Francis came
here not in quest of gold but to conquer for Christ the souls of the
natives given up to pagan practices and lost to God. A band of these
Missionaries, led by the Saintly Father Junipero Serra, in their
excursions across the land halted here and being most favorably
impressed by the beauty of the spot, selected it as the center of
their future apostolic activities.

La Baja California
Very soon after the
conquest of Mexico the attention of Cortez was attracted by certain stories told
by some of the conquered tribes regarding a mysterious but wonderful country,
lying far to the northwestward. This land they called Ciguatan, or The Realm of
Women; and they declared that it abounded in gold, in pearls, rubies,
garnets, turquoises, and many other products, rich and precious.
