Mission Concepcion San Antonio, TX 2018
Franciscan friars established Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de Acuña (also Mission Concepcion) in 1716 as Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de los Hainais in East Texas. The mission was originally meant to be a base for converting the Hasinai to Catholicism and teaching them what they needed to know to become Spanish citizens. The friars moved the mission in 1731 to San Antonio. After its relocation most of the people in the mission were Pajalats who spoke a Coahuiltecan language.[1] Catholic Mass is still held every Sunday.
On October 28, 1835, Mexican troops under Colonel Domingo Ugartechea and Texian insurgents led by James Bowie and James Fannin fought the Battle of Concepción here. Historian J.R. Edmondson describes the 30-minute engagement as the first major engagement of the Texas Revolution.[2]
Mission Concepcion consists of a sanctuary, nave, convento, and granary. When originally built, brightly painted frescos decorated both the exterior and interior of the building. Traces of the frescoes still exist on the weathered facade of the building. Experts restored some of the artwork on the interior ceilings and walls of the convento in 1988. The Archdiocese of San Antonio completed another restoration of the mission's interior in 2010 which exposed more frescoes in the sanctuary and nave.
Located at 807 Mission Road, Concepción is the best preserved of the Texas missions. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on April 15, 1970 and is part of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.[3] In 2015, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization designated Concepción and four other San Antonio missions, including The Alamo, as a World Heritage Site, the first in Texas and one of twenty-three such establishments in the United States.[4]

Information about the San Antonio Missions:

San Antonio De Padua Mission By Lundan Lane
My Mission report is on the San Antonio de Padua Mission and it was the third mission in California. It was founded in 1771 and that was a long time ago. The founder of this mission was Father Juniper Serra and the missions were made for indians so they could learn about the gospel. This mission was named after St. Anthony of Padua, who was the patron Saint of the poor. The location of this great mission is Jolon California. The current location of the San Antonio de Padua Mission was chosen due to the unstable water source of its’ original location, which by the way is unknown.
Even though the Mission was founded in 1771, the actual building of the church proper didn’t begin until 1810. By that time there were 178 Native Americans living at the Mission. They didn’t live there very long. Before the actual construction of the Mission the Indians occupied the lands. In 1805 there were 1300 Native Americans living at the Mission and by 1834 there were only 150 still living there.
The Indian tribe that lived at the mission for a very short time is known today as the Salinan Indians. The name was given to this tribe by Robert Lathem, he named them after the Salinas River, but no name is recorded that this tribe called themselves (Their native language is rumored to be part of the “hypothetical Hokan” language). I think it would be fun to learn more about these mysterious people.
Something different about this Mission is that no town grew up around it. I didn’t find any information on why, but I read that there were no supplies sent from Mexico to the Mission in 1817 due to heavy rains, and the cattle corral washed away. Maybe some people thought they would starve if crops washed away and help could not get to them, but I don’t really know.
The period of secularization or the decline of the San Antonio de Padua Mission began early in 1834, when the Mission became government property. On November 4, 1834 Governor Figueroa issued the final proclamation that took the rights of the Mission away from the Catholic Church and placed the entire Mission under civil jurisdiction, or in other words the Mission was taken by the Country. This is when the mission began to be neglected, which of course lead to the destruction of the beautiful buildings and grounds.
The United States land commission finally returned to Mission property to the Catholic Church in 1863 which gave them 33 acres of land. President Abraham Lincoln signed the decree for this. Fr. Doroteo Ambris lived there along with a few indian families, but in 1882 or 1883 Fr. Ambris died and the Mission was abandoned again. The Mission had tiles taken from the roof that went to a railroad company, but this left the Mission with no roof, so the inside of the Mission began to fall apart.
In 1939-1940, the United States Army purchased land surrounding the Mission from Randolph Hearst to establish the Hunter-Liggett Military Reservation and train troops during World War 2.
1952 The Franciscans complete the reconstruction of the Mission that they began in 1928. In 2005 the Franciscan Friars turned over the care of the Mission to the Diocese of Monterey (the owners of the Mission). To this day the Diocese serve as an active Catholic Parish, which consists of only 50 families. They host retreats, hold four fundraisers a year and run a gift shop to raise funds for the Mission. They need to raise a whole boat load of money to finish their reconstruction of the San Antonio de Padua Mission. They even have a Mission cat named Rosario who is famous. You should visit the Mission to see Rosario and see what treasures you can find.
