This post will seem odd. I am combining my visits to a couple of different churches into one blog. The first one is Mission San Rafael Arcangel. It was 20th mission in the California Mission System. The only thing left is the old chapel:

Next is Mission Santa Cruz. I got there too late to go to the visitors center but was able to attend mass inside the newer church:

| The current Holy Cross Church at Mission Santa Cruz |
Finally there is a St. Leander's in San Leandro:

| St.Leander of Seville |

Beautiful pictures. These churches are very different in style to the churches I am used to in Scotland and New Zealand. Thanks for sharing with the #BlogFair.
