San Juan Capistrano, often called the Jewel of the Missions is one of the famous California Missions. Located in the beautiful Orange County, Mission San Juan Capistrano is home to a historical landscape, well preserved buildings, and the famous Cliff Swallow that migrates through the mission. One of my favorite locations, San Juan Capistrano is one of the most important sites in southern California. Historically speaking, San Juan Capistrano was the seventh of the twenty one missions founded by the Spanish in California. This was in part of Spain's larger plan to expand and control territories in the new world and to convert the local population

He was diagnosed with tuberculosis and need a warmer climate to live in. By 1910, Father O'Sullivan was put in charge of San Juan's restoration. He had to start work mostly by hand and alone to restore the mission. After a while, his tuberculosis subsided and he regained his health. In 1918, the mission was officially able to operate as a church again. The mission continued to be restored up into the late millennium, and even today the mission is preserved by a non-profit organization. Because the mission was left to ruin in the 19th century, most of the mission had to be rebuilt. Some remnants of the old stone building and adobe still remain with minor restoration. The mission was home to a giant stone Cathedral but was destroyed by an earthquake. Parts of it still remain, not fully intact of course, but it is very interesting to think that some of these stone structures are older then America itself. Inside the mission is Serra's Church which is a small church that is still in regular use. Serra's Church is the oldest standing building in …show more content…
Well tended roses and other plants add a nice color and a bigger sense of life to the mission, The garden fills much of the mission with a very nice smell. The Bell Garden,, located behind the famous bells, is filled with Cacti and other native plants. The Bell Garden itself is very lovely with a stone fountain and a nice, close view to the bells. I was not able to go during the return of the Swallows, but according to Paloma Esquivel of boston.com “. . . the mission bells rang again and again during this year's Festival of the Swallows . . . and the tiny birds just didn't make an appearance. Truth is, they've hardly been seen at the mission for years.” The buildings surrounding the mission offer homes for the Swallow, so the mission itself does not get many visits from the bird. The mission is a very important of California's history and culture. The mission is funded by a non-profit organization, and the preservation is very good. The whole place is clean, beautiful and well kept. All the missions represent a large part what California was like before it became a state. Many people ignore the fact that California had a large and rich culture before it was a state. The mission itself receives more then a half-million visitors each year, meaning it beings a great source of economic income to the community. The mission is a wonderful visit and I recommend everyone to go at least
In the town of Santa Rosa California, in the county of Sonoma sits a very run down structure in need of either reconstruction or preservation of the remaining structure. Whether they reconstruct the structure or not, it is a prime example of a structure to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. This building is called the Carrillo Adobe and was owned by a woman by the name of Maria Ygnacia de Carrillo. However the site and part of the structure was constructed before Maria Carrillo moved to the area which would later become Santa Rosa, California and constructed the first structure in the town. The foundation was laid by monks of the Franciscan order, as they planned to build the twenty-second mission in California. However the monks moved on to build a mission in the surrounding area. In 1837 Carrillo, who had just become a widow, moved from San Diego County with her children to the area, which was not yet known as Santa Rosa.
The Mission Concepcion was first built in East Texas in 1716, but they only stayed there for fifteen years do to hardships. After this it and two other missions moved to San Antonio. The missions were rebuilt on the San Antonio river on March 5, 1731. While Concepcion was built in east Texas just out of logs and thatch the new Conception was built to last it is still standing today. It was built so well it is the only mission in San Antonio that the walls, roofs, and other major structures have never collapsed. The Concepcion is not only the oldest standing stone church in Texas but in the nation. “Father Habig, historian for the Franciscan Order, states un-equivocally that ‘it is the oldest church of the Immaculate Concepcion of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the United States” (saconservation 1).
Gender and Race play the most prominent role in the criminal justice system. As seen in the movie Central Park 5, five African American boys were charged with the rape of the a white women. In class decision we’ve discussed how the media explodes when it reports cross-racial crimes. The Central Park 5 were known everywhere and even terms were being made up during the process such as wilding. Also, during one of the class discussions it was brought up that victims of crime are of the same race of the perpetrator. However, the media likes to sensationalize crime of the victim being of a different race, because it makes for a good story. By doing this, the media does create more of a division of race. As seen in the video Donald Trump was trying
Mission Hill is located in Roxbury, a part of Boston, and has been known in the past to have a bad reputation of being a tough area of crime and poverty. Many residents believe that the neighborhood's name was tainted after the murder of Carol Stuart in 1989. Her husband was found as the killer, but the media attention of the homicide brought negative connotations to the neighborhood, according to Mary Todd, a member of the Mission Hill Crime Committee and life long resident of Boston.

Missions were created to bring the word of God to a new land. They thought the Indians deserved a chance to go to heaven.. The country of Spain helped the Catholic church and the Spanish priests. They wanted to strengthen the Spanish Empire over in the New World. The thought they could teach the Indians how to be like the Spanish. Spain thought the Indians could become Spanish citizens. This would give the king more power. The missions were set up between 1769 and 1823 in California. The Spanish also build forts called "presidios." Presidios were supposed to protect California from foreign troops like the Russians and the British. Spain already had missions in Mexico. They went to Alta California which is not a part of Mexico. They made a trail of missions called the El Camino Real. El Camino Real means "Royal Highway" in Spanish. They called it this to honor the king of Spain. Each mission had a Franciscan priest called a "padre." Padre means "father" in Spanish. The head of the priests was Padre Junipero Serra.
The location of the church mission was a favorable one due to the fertile soil, good water supply, adjacent lime deposits, hewing and other stone, acreage to the east for cattle grazing, many Indians nearby and easy accessibility to the Bay. This was frequently admired as an example of the ideal environment for a mission. The first mission buildings were established under the supervision of Sergeant Pedro Amador in 1797. It contained a guard house, convento, fence, chapel and barracks. The first permanent chapel was built of adobe and completed in 1809. In 1868, the Mission Church got severely dismantled by an earthquake on the Hayward Fault. Father Julian Federey decided to build a wooden Norman Gothic church to replace the adobe structure, which was then built directly over the old rock foundations and tile floor. Following years later, a Victorian Rectory was constructed between the wooden church and the only remaining adobe building, which is now the museum today (Old Mission San Jose & Museum). In 1853, Mission San Jose was known as the St Joseph Parish and the 1869 structure as St Joseph’s Church. To make room for the reconstruction of the 1809 church, the rectory got relocated in 1979, and the wooden church in 1982 to Burlingame. The Mission Church was restored in 1985 which completed the work on the original Mission San Jose, according to the

...249). This is because of its great climate, abundance of wood and water, its fertility, and good anchoring grounds. On the other hand Dana thought of San Pedro as being " the hell of California", and thought it was designed for wear and tear of sailors.
I believe that Southern California is a great place to visit because of the great weather and the beautiful and fun attractions to visit. This would be a great place for a vacation. I might be a little bit biased since on May 17, 1995, I was born in Southern California and lived there for the first 10 years of my life. I have many fond memories of the Sunshine State.
In the early 1700's, the country of Spain sent many explorers to the western world to claim land and find riches. When California was founded by several Spanish explorers, like Cabrillo, and De Anza, Spain decided to send missionaries to build missions. There are a total of 21 missions built in California. Mission Santa Ines was the 19th mission and was built to share the European God with the Indians and how to eat and dress like Europeans. Father Tapis wanted to make the Indians Christians and civilize them as well as keep and claim land for Spain. The missions were built near harbors, bays or rivers so the towns could grow the needed crops to survive, and to bring more Europeans, and show the Indians more European ways. The Indians built the missions under the supervision of the padres along El Camino Real, the Royal Road, where there was a water supply for the mission gardens and crops. The first mission built along El Camino Real was built in 1769, and the mission period lasted 54 years with the last mission built in 1823.
Mission San Diego de Alcalá’s symbol for their livestock is the letter S&D mixed together. At the mission Father Serra taught catholic faith to the Indians nearby. The Spanish planted there camp right on the spot that the Indians harvested their food. There was a supply ship that delivered the supplies for the mission, the ship was very late. A man named Portla said to abandon the mission because the supply ship was not coming. Father Serra reasoned and said to wait a few days. Portla said if the ship did not come by March 19th to abandon the mission. They had look outs everyday till March 19th. The lookout spotted the supply ship on the very, March 19th. When the ship came,they no longer had to abandon the mission. San Diego de Alcalá mission is a very important part of the people's hearts that
The Spanish decided to build a settlement between New Spain and East Texas. It would be a midway stop. They decided it would be located on the San Antonio River. San Jose was one of these settlements. It was made of limestone and was built in 1720. A nickname it had was "The Queen of Missions". Close by was San Antonio de Valero, or also known as the Alamo. It had carvings in the windows and the doorways that were complicated and beautiful. The carvings were made when the limestone was just unearthed. When limestone is just quarried it's relatively soft.
“The Mission” is based on a true story that occurred around the borderlands of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil in the years 1750’s according to the film and history. The Treaty of Madrid of 1750 with the Spanish and Portuguese caused both havoc and death for the people of the Guarini and the members of the Jesuits. The Jesuits, members of the church, tried to bring Christianity and civilization to the natives while keeping at peace with Spain and Portugal. The Jesuits were the teachers for the natives; Teaching them not only the Christian religion but also civilization. Father Gabriel, a Jesuit, is first introduced in the film when he is showing his respects to a former Jesuit priest killed by the natives. He walks through the South American
There are various influences on everyone’s lives while growing up. I believe the greatest of these influences is the neighborhood you grew up in. I grew up in a quite large, welcoming neighborhood. While living in this neighborhood, I was outgoing and remarkably talkative. Making friends became second nature to me. Playing outdoors from sunrise to sundown playing sports or exploring the outdoors with my friends became a daily routine for me. I was outgoing, talkative, and active. I believe this is the result of the neighborhood I grew up in.
