Historic Mission San Antonio de Padua, established in 1771, will be hosting its Annual Cutting of the Roses and Brunch on Sunday January 26, 2020.  Attend and take home a treasure from the Mission’s beautiful Padres’ Garden!
The Annual Cutting of the Roses is an historic event that allows visitors, for a donation, the opportunity to receive rose cuttings from the Mission for their own personal gardens. A delicious brunch will be served, from 10:00 AM to Noon, including enchiladas, eggs, rice, beans, coffee and juice.  Meal tickets are $10/person.  Assorted desserts, homemade pies, wine and champagne mimosas will also be available for an additional cost.
Come experience the Mission Gift Shop, full of original arts and crafts by local artists. Visit with many of the Artists who have consigned their unique items for sale in our Gift Shop. This year we will be joined by members of the Monterey Bay Rose Society who will demonstrate correct pruning and other rose care pointers.  
A tour of the Mission will be offered at 11:30 AM.  Check in at the Mission gift shop to purchase tour tickets ($6.00/adult, $4.00/senior and $4.00/child.)
For those of you interested in attending services at the Mission’s 207 year old Great Church, Mass begins at 9:00 AM.  
The Annual Cutting of the Roses is an important fundraiser for the Mission, which is currently undergoing an earthquake retrofit project estimated to cost $15 million.  The Mission is located at Fort Hunter-Liggett off Jolon Road, at 1 Mission Road, Jolon, CA 93928.  For more information visit our website at www.missionsanantonio.net  or call 831-385-4478 ext.17.
