Welcome to the presentation of
Mission San Fernando de Velicatá
Founded May 14, 1769 by
Franciscan President Junípero Serra
The First Franciscan and the 18th
California mission founded since the
first at Loreto in 1697…
500 miles south on El Camino Real
Baja California is a land of missions! The
Jesuits founded 17, the Franciscans founded 1,
and the Dominicans founded 9… 27 in total.
Only in central Baja California are missions from
the three Orders found within 100 miles of each
other: Santa María, San Fernando, El Rosario.
San Juan de Dios
San Fernando de Velicatá
Santa María
Calamajué
El Rosario
The last Jesuit, the
first Franciscan, and
the first Dominican
California missions,
plus the visita, San
Juan de Dios.
Velicatá was discovered
on
March 5, 1766 by the
Jesuit missionary Padre
Wenceslao Linck while
exploring for new mission
locations. The Jesuits
hoped to expand the
California missions
around the Gulf of
California to the Sonora
missions. Velicatá was too
far from San Borja, so
Calamajué was
established first.
