Mount Ecclesia

Oceanside is also known for the nature grounds of Mount Ecclesia, The Rosicrucian Fellowship international headquarters founded in Oceanside in 1911. This is also the location of its Spiritual Healing Temple, which receives the prayers and pure thoughts of its students and friends worldwide.

It is located at a picturesque location in southern California, situated upon the promontory of a high mesa. Mount Ecclesia was launched in October 28, 1911, through a ceremony of ground-breaking which consisted in planting a large Cross with the initials C.R.C. (meaning Christian Rose Cross, the head of the spiritual Rosicrucian Order) painted in gilt letters on the three upper ends and with a climbing rose. The Healing Temple "The Ecclesia" was erected, for the purpose of affording more powerful means for the healing of disease, and dedicated on December 25, 1920. Spiritual Healing meetings are held in this holy place at a regular time each day by the Probationers who have consecrated their lives to this work.

In 1989, the restoration of Mount Ecclesia "old landmarks" was outlined and effort is being made for the buildings to comply the Oceanside's earthquake secure construction rules.

Mount Ecclesia is being prepared to become the world Center in the "New World" for the emerging Esoteric Christianity world religion, as pointed out by its founder Max Heindel, the messenger of the Elder Brothers of the Rosicrucian Order.
