Restoration

Since 2008, the Carmel Mission Foundation has funded more than $14 million in restoration and preservation projects at the historic Carmel Mission, founded in 1771. Landmark accomplishments include the restoration of the Basilica, the Quadrangle Courtyard, and the Downie Museum and Basilica Forecourt.

While these achievements have preserved some of the Mission's most significant landmarks, eight historic structures—including four museums, outdoor courtyards, and the oldest residence in California—still require restoration.

In collaboration with Carmel Mission Pastor, Fr. Paul Murphy, we are raising funds for the current restoration priorities: the Blessed Sacrament Chapel and the Mora Chapel.

Explore our completed projects and the work ahead as we raise funds to preserve Carmel Mission for future generations.
