Chuck Gildea was a long time volunteer at Mission San Juan Capistrano as a Docent and Guest ambassador. Mr. Gildea was very active in the local parish including Serra's Pantry and the Mission Basilica. Mr. Gildea also served on the City of San Juan Capistrano's Cultural Heritage Commission and was the ultimate representative for hospitality and service of the historic landmark and Chapel.

His passing leaves the entire organization saddened; however, all who knew Chuck remain inspired by his selfless dedication even during his long-term illness these past few year. He never missed a shift sharing the history of the Chapel on Fridays. With Chuck's passing, the Mission has another angel watching over it. Donations given in Chuck's memory will be directed to Preservation in keeping the spirit of history and hospitality alive.
