Mission San Rafael Arcangel: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:21, 20 November 2012

Mission San Rafael Arcangel (1817-1833) - A Spanish mission established as an asistencia (sub-mission) of the Mission San Francisco de Asis in 1817 by Father Vicente De Sarria in present day San Rafael, Marin County, California. Later raised to full mission status in 1823 and associated with the Presidio of San Francisco. Secularized in 1833.

The Spanish Period (1769-1821)

The Spanish period began in California with the building of the first mission and presidio at San Diego in 1769. Mission San Rafael Arcangel was the 20th California mission built (out of 21) late in the Spanish period. The mission was established 14 Dec 1817 by Father Vicente De Sarria as an asistencia (sub-mission) of the Mission San Francisco de Asis to provide a place for the sick to recover. The asistencia became a full fledged mission in 1822 just as the Mexican Revolution came to an end.

Mexican Period (1822-1846)

The Mexican period began with the end of the Mexican Revolution around 1820. Mexican troops occupied the presidios and Mexican governors ran the province of Alta California.

The new Mexican government began the process of secularization (turning church lands over to private interests) around 1831 and passed laws mandating secularization of all missions in Mexico in 1833. Secularization in 1833 ended church ownership of the Mission San Rafael Arcangel community property. Most of the missions and presidios were abandoned and fell into disrepair as the lands were redistributed to private owners.
