Book Description

Excerpt from San Juan Capistrano Mission It was owing to the animosity of Rivera, as we know from the narrative on San Diego, that the two Fathers Lasuen and Amurrio were compelled to remain idle for nearly a year. Peremptory or ders from Viceroy Bucareli at last put an end to the chicanery. Fr. Serra, then at San Diego, was so overjoyed when the orders arrived that he rang the bells and celebrated a High Mass in thanksgiving. Having received orders to see that Mission San Juan Capistrano be established without delay on the site pre viously selected, Rivera detailed a guard of ten soldiers under a corporal. Instead of sending back Fr. Lasuen to lay the founda tions, Fr. Serra appointed him senior missionary of San Diego.
