Jim Graves on St. Junípero Serra

"St. Junipero Serra (1713-84) is a significant name in California's history. Revered by some, reviled by others, the dedicated Franciscan friar launched California's mission system in 1769, and would ultimately oversee the founding of the State's first nine missions.  Twenty-one missions would be founded by the Spanish in all."

In a recent commentary, writer Jim Graves reflected on the life and legacy of Saint Junipero Serra.
