Examples of serra in a Sentence

1. Pope Francis:

   Junipero Serra left his native land and its way of life, he was excited about blazing trails, going forth to meet many people, learning and valuing their particular customs and ways of life.

2. Ruben Mendoza:

   Suddenly, all of my ancestors channeled me in this area. I'm a scientist, and I now that sounds flaky, but it was so powerful, and I fell to my knees and made the sign of the cross, i had an adversarial relationship with Serra which went unspoken up until that moment.

3. Andrew Galvan:

   Everybody ... asks, Andy, how can you support the guy? I have to be able to sleep at night. So I have answered that: I believe Junipero Serra was a very, very good man in a very, very bad situation. And the bad situation is what we call colonialism, junipero Serra is being proclaimed a saint because he lived the life of a saint.

4. Emma Taila:

   A lot of people make the argument Serra had goodintentions —of course, we don’t know that for sure because all of our accounts are from a Spanish perspective — but our view is that he was complicit in the mission system that killed and enslaved a lot of native people, and we can’t just go around honoring everyone who had good intentions with a high school name, especially if they caused so much damage.

5. Corine Fairbanks:

   I think that Serra was, you know, an accomplice and co-conspirator to rape, land theft, torture, murder. I think that he’s just as bad as Hitler. I mean, some people might not understand the comparison, but he was a man with a vision and kept nothing—nothing—in the way of making that vision happen, didn’t care how many thousands of people that he hurt. He had a vision, he had a plan, he executed it.
