What visitors say
Fantastic place for a wedding. Rich history. I sing in the choir so a little bit biased. It's a wonderful church that I highly recommend. We have an 11:00 am mass w choir and a 1:00 pm Spanish mass w choir for the Spanish speaking people. Come join us! Beautiful church with great art and architecture. A great place to pray or simply relax. Note: This is NOT the original mission built in 1776. For that you have to walk down the block and pay the admission fee. The basilica church is free to enter and is an active parish. We had such a delightful day at Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano! Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano, located at 31520 Camino Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano, California, is a remarkable testament to historical architecture and spiritual significance. Completed in 1986, the basilica was thoughtfully designed to mirror the original 1806 Great Stone Church, which suffered destruction in the 1812 earthquake. This modern reconstruction serves as a vibrant parish, offering regular Mass services and housing a parochial school. Its designation as a minor basilica in 2000 and a national shrine in 2003 underscores its importance as a pilgrimage site and a center for community worship. Visitors and parishioners alike are drawn to its serene ambiance, rich history, and the active role it plays in fostering faith and education within the community.
