San Buenaventura Mission Gift Shop

What a jewel and I just stumbled upon the shop. There are many wonderful items to take home for gifts that are better than most of the gift shops in the area. I especially like the locally made lotion, the ceramic crosses, the medals, the cards and so many other items that fit in my suitcase. I love the wind chimes but could not manage them. It’s nice to find a special place that supports the historical mission that is a treasure indeed. If you have time, walk the grounds, enjoy the museum, visit the sanctuary and leave a donation. You’ll want to, believe me!

It is a beautiful church and I was really glad I was able to take my mom to it. It wasn't too much of a journey, that it tired her out, it was very calming and I love the garden. It really is a good place to take your mom to. She could tell you such sweet stories, however I just wish that some people were little bit more respectful instead of acting all sort of honky tonk about it? Like, It there was this couple there that was cussing, acting touristy, I don't know how to describe it better. Treating the church like it was some roadside tourist trap. I had to make sure I steered my mom clear of then, I didn't want them to spoil her experience. I like to give props to those that were respectful and polite. The Latino artwork was beautiful, and I was so glad that my mom was able to understand everything fluently. I wish I spoke Spanish as well as her. I also want to give props to the women of front at the store. They are so kind and helpful. I love the mementos and religious items they had there too. Everything was made with quality. Thank you

I requested to have it blessed which would take a day but a priest was available to bless my rosary for my mom who is ill but we gave faith God is in control 🙏

Blown away by the upkeep and care that is given to the mission and grounds. Beautiful garden and statues. The interior was gorgeous and holy! There is piped music of chanting monks, (?) ... it was beautiful.

Excellent place to visit & buy something spiritual for yourself or a loved one. Staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. Plus you can tour the Mission & museum to see the history of this location. Highly recommend for everyone to stop in & visit.
