Tricentennial Celebration of Father Junipero Serra – Members-only Fall Event!
Join us for our annual fall party! This year’s theme is the Tricentennial Celebration of Father Junipero Serra, and will be held at the San Gabriel Mission!
We will enjoy dishes closely representing what was consumed during the times of Father Serra and the California Missions. In addition, there will be special speakers on the Mission and fabulous auction items to raise money for CHSC!
