For generations, the Mission Cemetery has been a sacred place of prayer, remembrance, and peace. As one of the oldest active cemeteries in California, it continues to offer a resting place rooted in the Mission’s Franciscan heritage.⁠
⁠
Families come here for the quiet beauty of the grounds, the sense of history, and comfort. Whether you’re visiting to remember someone, to walk the grounds, or to learn more about burial options, you are always welcome.⁠
⁠
If you’d like information about plots or arrangements, our staff is here to ⁠
help and answer any questions with compassion and respect.⁠
⁠
A place of peace.⁠
A place of prayer.⁠
A place to remember.

Do you want to deepen your relationship with God? Centering prayer allows you to receive the gift of God's presence and gently let go of everyday thoughts and distractions, allowing your spirit to simply be with God.
Mission San Luis Rey offers two Centering Prayer opportunities: weekly or monthly. You can choose which is best for you or come to both. Visit our website for more information or to register for the monthly prayer.
