Friends of the Mission
Although a National Historic Landmark, Mission San Luis Rey receives
no Federal or State funding for restoration and preservation. It is entirely dependent upon donations, fundraisers and grants.
By joining the Friends of the Mission, your donation allows the Mission to carry on an educational, historical, cultural and spiritual presence in the community. You also gain membership benefits, including free admission to Mission San Luis Rey, guest passes to share your experience with friends, and valuable discounts.
Thank you for helping preserve Mission San Luis Rey for future generations.

Inspirational Thought
Someone has said that a poet is a man with keen vision, exquisite sensitivity, a great heart, and a deep conviction of the external. St. Francis saw the wild flowers of the fields, but even more he saw the hand of God that made them.
