Beautiful mission church in the heart of the town. Sunday mass was wonderful to mind. Dress up for the weather. Learning the history of the church makes you feel thankful to early settlers for the sacrifice and sufferings. Walk around the church. Lots of shops and restaurants. nearby. Good size parking lot with wheelchair parking too.

The Mission is open to all people. It is a place of great beauty and sanctity. I had come to this sacred area to find the “Cross” on the rock wall that was built along a section of Broad St and continues up Palm. Consider finding the cross a pilgrimage.
