Become part of the enduring story of Carmel Mission.

Two centuries ago, the Carmel Mission was in ruins. Thanks to the generosity of countless people, it rose from the ashes to become a symbol of hope, faith and community. Today, we are reminded it will take the continued generosity of countless more to ensure the mission's legacy continues for generations to come.
