Welcome to Mission San Antonio de Pala.
The Cross boldly stand against the confusion of our world a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness and doubt. In the Cross, Christ not only bridged the gap between God and us, but there we find the answers to life's deepest questions. There we discover our true identity, forgiven sinners who now belong to God. There we discover our true destiny a glorious eternity with God in Heaven. There we discover our true purpose: to love God and serve Him with all our might.
Never underestimate what Christ did for us through the Cross. By it our salvation was won, and by it our lives and our world can be transformed. What difference does the Cross make in your life?
A Blessed Easter to All,
Father Rey Manahan

"Cervantes made us." (middle band); and
"[In honor of] Our Seraphic Father, Francis of Assisi, San Luis King, Saint Clara, Saint Eulalia, Our Light" (lower band).
The smaller bell has 2 inscriptions:"Jesus + Maria" (upper band); and
"Santus Deis, Santus Fortus, Santus Immortalis" and "Micerere nobis" (lower band).
San Antonio de Pala was established in 1816 by Padre Antonio Peyri. It is the only surviving Asistencia in the mission system and the only mission-related structure still ministering to an Indian population. The Asistencia was named in honor of Saint Anthony of Padua, nicknamed the "Wonderworker of the World." Pala continues to be an active Church.
Today, the Mission continues to serve the local Indian tribes that it was intended for at it’s inception. The Holy Mass is celebrated daily. The submissions of St. Bartholomew’s on the Rincon Indian Reservation, Our Lady of Refuge on the La Jolla Indian Reservation, and St. James on the Pauma Indian Reservation continue to work through Mission San Antionio de Pala.
