Mission Of The Mission Santa Clara

Santa Fe was originally founded in1598 by Juan de Onate. He led a mining expedition of about 500 people. He hoped to find rich mines and rich lands. Onate expected the people, Pueblos, to help with the labor to find resources in the region. The mining trip was a bust and Onate and most of his people decided to head home, yet the Franciscan missionaries stayed behind in an attempt to convert the Pueblos to Christianity.

I’ve attended Catholic school for a majority of my education, from first through twelfth grade and throughout my journey within the catholic school education system I feel as though I have the obligation and right to inform you of the lack of information provided to fourth grade students on the history of the California missions.

The mission church was not the only building that was on this property, there was also a convent, storerooms, workrooms and housing for the Indians which all were surrounded by an outer wall that protected the buildings. In 1778 many epidemics had spread rapidly throughout the area and killed many of the Indians that lived at the Mission, so the mission church was then used to help soldiers that were stationed in the area. By 1806 the church was then converted to a hospital and it was the first hospital in San Antonio from 1806 to 1812. Many people of Texas do not see the Alamo as a mission church, but of a fort that helped them gain

Spanish settlers built the Mission San Antonio de Valero, named for St. Anthony of Padua, on the banks of the San Antonio River around 1718. They also established the nearby military garrison of San Antonio de Béxar, which soon became the center of a settlement known as San Fernando de Béxar (later renamed San Antonio). The Mission San Antonio de Valero housed missionaries and their Native American converts for some 70 years until 1793, when Spanish authorities secularized the five missions located in San Antonio and distributed their lands among local residents.Beginning in the early 1800s, Spanish military troops were stationed in the abandoned chapel of the former mission. Because it stood in a grove of cottonwood trees, the soldiers called

In the early 1700's, the country of Spain sent many explorers to the western world to claim land and find riches. When California was founded by several Spanish explorers, like Cabrillo, and De Anza, Spain decided to send missionaries to build missions. There are a total of 21 missions built in California. Mission Santa Ines was the 19th mission and was built to share the European God with the Indians and how to eat and dress like Europeans. Father Tapis wanted to make the Indians Christians and

The Spanish began their long-term occupation in California in 1769. California and its Spanish Colonization were different from earlier efforts to simultaneously introduce missionaries and colonists in their world conquest schemes. Organized by the driven Franciscan administrator Junipero Serra and military authorities under Gaspar de Portola, they journeyed to San Diego to establish the first of 21 coastal missions.

My mission is named in honor of Saint Francis Solano, he was a Spanish Franciscan Missionary in Peru and Paraguay. It is the twenty-first and last of the California missions. It was founded by Fray Jose Altimira on July 4, 1823. Mission Sonoma, it’s shaped like a square of long buildings, forming a quadrangle, made of adobe bricks and wood. In one corner was the church, adjacent was living quarters and parallel were the workshops, kitchen, and storage. In addition, there were orchards, gardens, vineyards, fields of grain, a grist mill, houses for the soldiers and Indian families, a jail, a cemetery, and an infirmary.

The Spanish in contact with California occurred in the mid 1530s when Cortez’s men ventured to Baja California. They began to sail north to Alta California and established 21 missions. The expedition to Alta California was the last greatest expansion of Spain’s empire in North America. The missions were a series of religious and military settlements established by the padre. The Spanish constructed the missions to gain control and power over the land in California. San Francisco Solano Mission was the last mission established in Sonoma, the Valley of the Moon, resulted an important historical event in California and the existence of the California flag. The Spanish arrival to California created a major impact to the lives of the native Indians, and there were many significant events occurred among the Spaniards, the native Indians, and the Americans before California became a part of America.

The San Diego Rescue Mission, 55-years-old, is an original and inspirational organization that involves itself with dealing with the homeless population. It partners with more than 100 local churches every year and the services it provides are numerous. These include:

Mission San Buenaventura is named after a Saint named Saint Buenaventura. My mission also has a nickname it’s nickname is Mission by the ocean. It is named that because it’s near the ocean. It is located in the meadow of the Chumash Indians. The reason why it is located there because it was supposed to convert the Chumash Indians. It was built on the month of march31, 1784 on the memorable Easter morning. The family’s of the soldiers helped Fr. Serra build Mission San Buenaventura.

According to what we learn in the class, children were separated from their parents and kept in a separate place. They had to wake up very early in the morning and attended the classes and learn all about Christianity, instead of playing around and experiencing the outside world. My question here was how can children be happy if they were separated from their mother? I was looking for the truth in the mission, but I found lies all over, in the museum, in the church and in the garden. The history was depicted in the viewpoint of the Spanish priests and solders leaving out all the native Indians. There is a cemetery on the back side of the church.it was the final resting place for thousands of neophytes and the early settlers. Visiting the mission brings me both joy and sadness. I was happy to see such a beautiful architecture is preserved and it gives us some evidence about our past. Visiting this mission took me back in the history, to the mission era that lead to death of thousands of native Indians. The sad part is that there is nothing or very small information about the Indians in the mission. In this course we learned about Indians and how they were treated poorly by Spaniards. Indians were the main income source for the mission. They worked under a very strict and harsh condition. And they were punished if they tried to escape. The ultimate goal of Spaniards was to erase native’s culture completely

Have you learned about missions? One about the missions was that Junipero Serra founded only 9 of the 21 missions founded in California. One of the missions founded by Junipero Serra was Mission Santa Clara De Asis(Wikipedia “Junipero Serra) which is the mission I’m going to inform you about. One of the resources that I used for this paper was “The Missions: California’s Heritage,Mission Santa Clara De Asis” by Mary Null Boulé, published by Merryant Publishers, 1988. Next, I will inform you about the history of this mission and also it’s designs.

In the 18th century, what is now California was populated mostly by Native Americans. Late in the century, Franciscan missions sponsored by Spain and the Roman Catholic church played an important role in establishing European settlement in the region. The Spaniards, who had already colonized parts of Mexico to the south, wanted to protect those colonies and extend their influence northward. The Roman Catholic church wanted to convert Native Americans to Christianity. The mission system supported both goals. The first Franciscan mission in California (Mission San Diego de Alcalá) was established by Father Junípero Serra in what in now San Diego. Fifty-four years later in 1823, the Franciscans founded their last of 21 missions at San Francisco Solano. Each mission had an armed presidio to protect it. Each sought to teach the Native Americans both Christianity and European farming methods. Many of the mission churches remain today as living examples of

Most Californians are introduced to the California Mission system in one of two ways: in their early education, or when they first visit a mission. Unfortunately, both methods are prone to simplification or bias in conveying the history of the missions. What this has led to is Californians who are ignorant of the history of the land they walk on. Consequently, visitors to the missions treat them as mere tourist attractions, instead of trying to embrace and understand the complex issues the missions represent.

The mission-presidio system was a settlement set up by the Spanish, the role of these missions was to transform Native Americans into christians and civilize them. This system was brought to California in the 1700s by the Spanish. This settlement had been used by the Spaniards before to protect Spain’s interest and to colonize in other places which they had already done in Texas for example, Baja California, Mexico and as far as Guatemala. The intent of the missions in California was to colonize the coast of California, because King Carlos III was concern about the English and Russians expeditions, he did not want them to get this lands before they did so he authorized the expansion of the missions to Alta California. The role in this missions was to convert as many natives into catholicism for them to become civilized. It was a way of expanding the spanish population by baptizing the indians because by baptizing them they were becoming part of the spanish.
