Today’s Mission is used by business, charitable, religious and community organizations for meetings and conferences.  City, County and State officials use it on a regular basis for meeting with their constituents and other social events.  The center accommodates up to 100 overnight guests.

The Chamber of Commerce, the Navy and Marine personnel from Camp Pendleton, The Luiseno Band of Mission Indians, all make use of the Mission buildings and grounds for their cultural events. 

North County Earth Day is celebrated annually as Pepper Tree Day in the courtyard around the Mission’s pepper tree – the oldest pepper tree in California.

The annual Heritage Ball is a gala event with an elegantly catered dinner and dancing. The Heritage Ball is held late in the summer.
