The sign is made of painted glazed tile and reads:


"On the 28th of August, 1984 all of the
Bishops of Alta and Baja Californias
assembled in the memorial
garden to commemorate the
200th anniversary of the death
of Fray Junipero Serra, the
apostle of California.

To mark this historic occasion
the original mission fountain
which had been lost since
the period of the mission's
abandonment was re-erected
here.

It was returned to the
mission through the generosity of
H.Louis Scott & John I. Keller of
Carmel.

This Serra Memorial Garden
with its fountain and shrine
was dedicated this day by
Cardinal Timothy Manning,
Arch-Bishop of Los Angeles,
assisted by most reverend
Thaddeus Shubsda, Bishop of Monterey.

Sponsored by the Junipero Serra
State Bicentennial Commission,
Rev. Msgr. FrancisWeber, Exec. Sec.&
Rev. Msgr.Edward MacMahon,
Pastor, Carmel Mission."
