St. Francis Reveals Mission Remodel & Celebrates 100 Year Anniversary
Saint Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church held their Centenary Celebration on Sunday, July 19, 2026. The church also revealed its new “California Mission” look, pictured right. The building was dedicated on February 1, 1976. In 1914 Fillmore was a mission of St. Sebastian Parish in Santa Paula, ten miles west of Fillmore. The priests from Santa Paula offered Holy Mass in backyards and classrooms and helped the small but growing number of Catholics raise funds through fiestas, bazaars and raffles. In 1924 they petitioned Bishop John J. Cantwell to supply a priest and church for Fillmore. The bishop had a great concern for the spiritual welfare of his people. Over a period of 30 years, Bishop Cantwell created 50 parishes and missions as the seventh Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles and San Diego. In 1926, by God’s grace, the tiny church located at the corner of First Street and Central Avenue in Fillmore was one of them, serving the community as a beacon of faith. Numerous baptisms, weddings, funerals, confirmations and first communions were celebrated there, as well as daily and Sunday Mass for the growing number of the devout. Photo credit Gazette staff.

Fillmore Middle School campus buildings are getting a complete facelift! Crews have been diligently taping, masking, and prepping exterior walls for a brand-new coat of paint. The fresh exterior color scheme is giving the entire campus a clean, vibrant, and welcoming feel.
The interior quads are undergoing a massive overhaul to create comfortable, modern spaces for students to relax and study.
Prep work is already complete with rebar and wooden forms in place. The north pad is scheduled to be poured this Friday, followed by the south pad on Monday.
To keep everyone cool on sunny days, brand-new shade structures are set to be fully installed by August 3.
Bright, low-maintenance artificial turf will soon be laid down to create soft, green common areas for students to enjoy.
Inside the gymnasium, crews are currently installing a brand-new, high-efficiency HVAC system. Lift equipment is set up inside the gym to access the high ceilings, bringing much-needed air conditioning relief from hot summer temperatures during sports games, assemblies, and PE classes.
Everything is right on schedule, and we can’t wait for students, staff, and families to see the final reveal when the new school term begins!
