Saint Junípero Serra y Ferrer O.F.M. (†1784) was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest and missionary of the Franciscan Order. He is credited with establishing the Franciscan Missions in the Sierra Gorda. He later founded a mission in Baja California and the first nine of 21 Spanish missions in California from San Diego to San Francisco, in what was then Spanish-occupied Alta California in the Province of Las Californias, New Spain. Serra was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 25 September 1988 in Vatican City. Pope Francis canonized Serra on 23 September 2015 at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., during his first visit to the United States. Serra's missionary efforts earned him the title of "Apostle of California."
Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) pre-canonization relics of Saint Junípero Serra y Ferrer. The cloth relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as San Pio da Pietrelcina (Saint Pio of Pietrelcina). On the back, under the protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of the Order of Friars Minor. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued on 25 September 1988 (the year of his beatification) by the Postulator General of the Order.
