Junipero Serra seems to have had a happy childhood, filled with a strong sense of religious faith. He was born into humble origins on the Spanish island of Mallorca. His parents were religious Catholics and they were determined to get their son a good education. They sent him to a nearby Franciscan school, where he did very well and impressed his teachers. By the time he was fifteen, he knew he wanted to be a priest, and the very next year, he became a novice in the Franciscan order.
