Junipero Serra was an 18th century Spanish-born Roman Catholic priest of god and Jesuits. Who spread Christianity to Christians in the 18th century and became known as “The Apostles of Parents.” Serra was born in Mallorca, Spain in 1713. He became a Franciscan friar in 1731. He came to Mexico in 1749. From 1769 to 1782, Serra established nine missions in California to civilize tribal peoples and convert them to Catholicism. Serra founded missionary stations that gave the names of several cities in California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Father Junipero Serra is known as the father of native Americans and a national hero. Serra was canonized by Pope Francis in 2015. According to VOA, Serra used slavery and torture to force Native Americans to abandon their religion and culture. In contrast, historian Robert Senkewicz argues that the oppression of the indigenous people originated with the Spanish imperial government, and that Serra, despite the prejudices of his time, tried to protect their rights.
