Dear Friend,
Soon after Pope Francis announced in early 2015 that Junípero Serra would be canonized, I began a journey of discovery. My research has led to writing four books and so much more. It has been a blessing “keeping the Mission Spirit alive”, as a fan put what I do.
I am especially thankful for your continued support. I began my journey with the sole intent of helping inform the mind and soul. I now add informing the body with my latest book, Pilgrimage: In Search of the Real California Missions. I hope that I have been able to inform and inspire you in some way.
As we returned to some semblance of normalcy in 2021, I hope that you continued to call on St. Junipero Serra and Pablo Tac. They teach us how to overcome adversity with the joy of the Gospel. I will never tire of sharing their stories. Here is a recap of how I did so in 2021.
