Each year in mid July, parishioners, volunteers and visitors all gather for one weekend to celebrate the beginning of Christianity in the western United States with food, entertainment, dance and traditional activities like the blessing of the bells and blessing of the animals. All five Mission bells are rung during the weekend festivities, including an original bell dating back to 1802.
