About

Docents with a mission…

Prelado de Los Tesoros de La Purísima has been a proud partner with California State Parks since 1973. Funds raised through membership help pay for docent training, materials for school programs both in person and virtual, feed and care for the animals as well as preservation projects and building restoration.

Many talented members keep our gift store in stock with one-of-a-kind handcrafted items.

Thousands of school children throughout California and visitors from around the world come to La Purísima Mission State Historic Park every year. They gain an appreciation for the cultures that influence us today, the legacy of the Chumash Indians and European explorers and immigrants that helped to establish our State and community. Prelude works to ensure these programs continue to be funded and accessible for future generations to come and see.
