Saint Junipero Serra Saint of the Day - July 1st (November 24, 1713 – August 28, 1784) 1776, when the American Revolution was beginning in the east, another
part of the future United States was being born in California. That year a
gray-robed Franciscan founded Mission San Juan Capistrano, now
famous for its annually returning swallows. San Juan was the seventh of
nine missions established under the direction of this indomitable
Spaniard.
Born on Spain’s island of Mallorca, Serra entered the Franciscan Order
taking the name of Saint Francis’ childlike companion, Brother Juniper.
Until he was 35, he spent most of his time in the classroom—first as a
student of theology and then as a professor. He also became famous for
his preaching. Suddenly he gave it all up and followed the yearning that
had begun years before when he heard about the missionary work of
Saint Francis Solano in South America. Junipero’s desire was to convert
native peoples in the New World.
Arriving by ship at Vera Cruz, Mexico, he and a companion walked the
250 miles to Mexico City. On the way Junipero’s left leg became infected
by an insect bite and would remain a cross—sometimes life-
threatening—for the rest of his life. For 18 years, he worked in central
Mexico and in the Baja Peninsula. He became president of the missions
there.
Enter politics: the threat of a Russian invasion south from Alaska.
Charles III of Spain ordered an expedition to beat Russia to the territory.
So the last two conquistadors—one military, one spiritual—began their
quest. José de Galvez persuaded Junipero to set out with him for
present-day Monterey, California. The first mission founded after the 900
-mile journey north was San Diego in 1769. That year a shortage of food
almost canceled the expedition. Vowing to stay with the local people,
Junipero and another friar began a novena in preparation for St.
Joseph’s day, March 19, the scheduled day of departure. On that day,
the relief ship arrived. Other missions followed: Monterey/Carmel
(1770); San Antonio and San Gabriel (1771); San Luís Obispo (1772);
San Francisco and San Juan Capistrano (1776); Santa Clara (1777);
San Buenaventura (1782). Twelve more were founded after Serra’s
death.
Junipero made the long trip to Mexico City to settle great differences with
the military commander. He arrived at the point of death. The outcome
was substantially what Junipero sought: the famous “Regulation”
protecting the Indians and the missions. It was the basis for the first
significant legislation in California, a “Bill of Rights” for Native Americans.
Junipero’s missionary life was a long battle with cold and hunger, with
unsympathetic military commanders and even with danger of death from
non-Christian native peoples. Through it all his unquenchable zeal was
fed by prayer each night, often from midnight till dawn. He baptized over
6,000 people and confirmed 5,000. His travels would have circled the
globe. He brought the Native Americans not only the gift of faith but also
a decent standard of living. He won their love, as witnessed especially by
their grief at his death. He is buried at Mission San Carlo Borromeo,
Carmel, and was beatified in 1988. Pope Francis canonized him in
Washington, D.C., on September 23, 2015.
