Exploring the California Missions

May 14 - June 4, 2019 

Join Janice Stevens and Pat Hunter to explore the enduring architectural, artistic, and cultural heritage of the California missions. This study of the missions will reveal the full history of California itself, from Father Serra’s pioneering labors, to the conquest of the land’s agricultural wealth, to California’s painful transitions from Indian habitation to Spanish, Mexican and American rule.

 

You may recall your fourth-grade study of the California missions…now take a grown-up look at these historic structures, many of which still operate as active Catholic parishes, and their role in the history of the Golden State.

 

Class begins Tuesday, May 14, from 6 pm - 7:30 pm. Details and registration can be found on the website: http://www.fresnostate.edu/cge/professional/downtown/missions.html
