Sunday marked our first mission stop on the Portolá 250 Pilgrimage at Mission San Diego Alcalá, located in present-day San Diego.  Click here to read a moving witness of Sunday’s events, by my colleague James Aitchison, at the first mission ever established in California.
Here’s a snippet from James’ blog to begin… Mission San Diego de Alcalá, as the first of the 21 Franciscan missions, appropriately gained its nickname ‘The Mother of the Missions’. Our pilgrim crew arrived at this Mission just before the noon Mass on Sunday, September 1st, with the World Apostolate of Fatima rolling billboard. My colleague, Anthony DeBellis, was joined by his son, Michael, present to support the project of his dad to visit 21 missions in 21 days and to explore together the treasures of our Faith and in this case, the first-ever of its kind built in California. May God bless you! May Our Lady of Fatima protect you, and may St. Junípero Serra inspire you with great love for souls and ardent missionary zeal!
