Father Serra had originally requested permission to build the Mission from the Spanish Governor in 1782 but the Governor was concerned that the Catholic Church would have too much power in the new world and he refused. The next Governor agreed and Father Lasuen founded the Mission on December 4, 1786.

The Mission has been nicknamed the ’Queen of the Missions.’     Location and Geography The Mission is located very close to the coast on the edge of the Central and Southern California regions.

It was built near Siujtu, a Chumash village, and drew Native Californians from other villages in the area as well.
