Description
Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana was founded 8 September 1797 by Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuen. It was spread out across a large section of this Los Angeles pocket and was the center much of the life of the area. At its peak, the mission had 30,000 grapevines along with wine-making facilities. 21,000 head of livestock browsed the area. From these, large quantities of rawhide strips were made (used to hold buildings together in lieu of nails).
The photograph is the arcade of what is named the "long building". It is the 243 foot frontage to the cathedral and cemetery grounds and gardens. It is the final resting place to the late Bob Hope and there is a beautiful memorial there to visit.
'If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave."
~ Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
