"... what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the record of history." – Marcus Tullius Cicero

Serra Memorial Tiles

The Serra Memorial, built in 2011, is a permanent reminder of the community of stewards committed to maintain this historic landmark in perpetuity. The Serra Memorial is located in the Quadrangle Courtyard next to the major donor wall and surrounds the "retired" Ave Maria Bell.

Add to your legacy, your organization, honor someone special, or remember loved ones by purchasing a custom-engraved Serra Memorial tile. Donations are tax deductible and support the ongoing restoration of the historic structures and artifacts of the Carmel Mission. Four types of ground tiles are available.
