Invite You To
San Gabriel Mission’s History Forum
Saturday, October 1, 2011    10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Dr. James A. Sandos
Farquhar Professor of the Southwest, University of Redlands
Patricia Sandos, Independent Scholar
“Spanish Music in California’s Missions:
Little known, Unexpected and Unforgettable”

One of the most respected mission historians, Dr. Sandos and his wife Patricia have researched the lives of mission instrumentalists and found that participation in musical performance had powerful social impacts upon Indian community development beyond the conventional consideration of historians and musicologists. They will examine the impact of Spanish ritual music in the missions and will feature audio examples of both tribal and liturgical song.

Dr. Kristine Ashton Gunnell
Claremont Graduate University
“Modernizing the Mission: The Daughters of Charity and    
Sisters’ Hospital, Los Angeles, 1880-1920”

Using Sisters’ Hospital in Los Angeles as a case study, Dr. Ashton Gunnell analyzes the ways that women-led charity hospitals negotiated the challenges associated with scientific modernization of their institutions, while also maintaining a commitment to their traditional mission of caring for the poor. These religious women sought to incorporate “modern” medical practices to attract more paying patients. By doing so, the Daughters of Charity modernized their mission, balancing the demands of medical businesses with humanitarian impulses to care for the poor.

Moderated by John Macias, San Gabriel Mission parishioner and
Ph.D. Candidate in History, Claremont Graduate University
