South entrance near apse; The church opened in 1986 and is located just northwest of Mission San Juan Capistrano. The church's design is patterned after the Mission's original stone church, which was destroyed in an 1812 earthquake. It was designed by architect John Bartlett and built by Joseph Byron, Jr. of Alex Sutherland Construction. The interior was designed by historian Norman Neuerberg, who painted much of the decorative and sacred art which adorns the walls. The church was granted the status of minor basilica in 2000, and that of national shrine in 2003. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 8/15/2015)
