Junipero Serra has not been canonized. The Spanish Franciscan priest and founder of the California missions, who died August 28, 1784, has been honored with two of the three stages toward canonization. Serra was deemed "Venerable" for sainthood by Pope John Paul II on May 9, 1985, the first stage toward sainthood. Serra was beatified by Pope John Paul II on December 11, 1987. His official Beatification ceremony was held September 25, 1988 at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. This second stage toward sainthood gave Serra the title "Blessed." The title "Saint" is bestowed with the final stage, Canonization.
