History
At the Ohlone Indian village of Oroysom, Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuen founded this fourteenth of twenty-one Franciscan missions June 11, 1797.
Taught by Padre Narciso Duran, the Ohlone orchestra and choir became famous.
By 1830 almost 2,000 Indians were living at the mission.
The 1868 earthquake destroyed the adobe church and most other mission buildings.
The church was rebuilt in 1985.
