Old Mission Santa Barbara Has New Ramp Ready for Easter

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - The new ADA ramp is now complete at Old Mission Santa Barbara after months of work.

It is on the front-right side of the landmark building in Santa Barbara.

The fundraising goal of $1.1 million was met and support came in from the parish and community at large.

This ramp is a natural extension of the original architecture. Stones from the same quarry as the church’s iconic façade were used in the project.

The ramp is open in time for Easter Services this weekend.

A special dedication will take place April 12 at 4:30 p.m. with an official blessing, ribbon cutting and reception.
