Dear Historical Families, Loyal Friends, and Friends we haven’t met yet,

It is up to our committee to maintain/make many repairs at the Old Mission Historic Cemetery, including the completed Eagle Scout projects.

As you can see in the pictures provided, the wrought iron fence on the northern side has deteriorated significantly.  This creates a serious security issue and an urgency to raise funds. Thank you to all those who donated for the south side fence as those repairs have been completed!

The Old Mission Historic Cemetery was established in the 1830s and now we ask you to be a part of its ongoing preservation.  We need you to help us protect the generations of families that rest in peace at this historical, sacred site.

We can’t do this alone.  Please consider making a tax-deductible donation via GiveSendGo today. https://www.givesendgo.com/northfence

Thank you very much for your contribution, it is greatly appreciated.

For any and all questions, please contact Jerry Nieblas, President of the Capistrano Historical Alliance Committee at historic.nieblas@yahoo.com.

Thank you!
