Mission San Miguel Arcangel Rediscovered and Restored
The article traces Mission San Miguel Arcangel from its 1797 dedication by Fr. Lasuen on the Salinas river to its decline under Mexican rule, sale and later desecration, and its rebirth beginning in 1878 under Bishop Mora and Fr. Farrely. It notes baptisms, repairs, and the mission’s preservation as a historic site in California.
