About this campaign
Historic Mission San Gabriel was founded September 8, 1771, the fourth of the 21 California Missions founded by the Spanish Franciscan Friars. In the early morning hours of July 11, 2020, a "four-alarm" structure fire destroyed most of the roof and much of the interior of the church, including the newly restored pews. Renovation was already underway to prepare for the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the Mission in September 2021.
The restoration is underway; at this time a temporary roof has been placed and the debris from the damaged roof and pews removed. The next steps will include assessments of the interior paint to prepare for the restoration of the walls. The replacement of the roof is anticipated to begin approximately February 2021.

I’m a Native Daughter, Catholic, and I love the Missions. This fundamental aspect of California history must be preserved.
The Mission San Gabriel has been a integral part of my family for generations. My now deceased grandmother, Jeanette and i are Native Daughters of the Golden West. We rode on the NDGW float in 1976 for the Bicentennial Parade. God Bless our families.
As a Native Daughter of the Golden West, I want to share my support in helping with the rebuilding of this historic Mission!

It is heartbreaking to know of this tragic fire. As a strong supporter of California history, I desire to help financially with this effort to rebuild. We also give thanks to the wonderful work through the ages by the Archangel Gabriel.
Many thanks to those of you who supported our fundraiser! Gratefully, GP Renee
I am a Catholic. I practice my faith through the Mass and prayers. I was devastated to hear that this church and many others were desecrated for really stupid reasons.
