interior
view
of

in
San
Gabriel
,
showing
the
altar
,
pulpit
, and
rows
of
pews

remains
of
eight
Franciscan
priests
.
Buried
among
the
padres
is
centenarian
Eulalia
Perez
de
Guille´n
Marine´
, the "
keeper

bench

in her
memory

pulpit

the

made
in
Mexico
and
brought
to the
Mission
in the
1790s

six
wooden

statues
