Description
The hot afternoon sun pours through the doorway of the Mission BAsilica Sand Diego de Alcala. First of the 21 missions and known as the Mother of the Missions, Mission San Diego de Alcala was founded on July 16, 1769 by Blessed Junipero Serra. The mission system arose in part from the need to control Spain's ever-expanding holdings in the New World. Realizing that the colonies would require a literate population base that the mother country could not supply, the government (with the cooperation of the Church) established a network of missions with the goal of converting the natives to Christianity; the aim was to make converts and tax paying citizens of the indigenous peoples they conquered. After its religious beginnings, the mission withstood a period of secularization under Mexico and the United States during the 1800s but was returned to religious use in the 1890s. It was designated as a Minor Basilica in 1976 by Pope Paul VI. The Mission today is an active Catholic Parish in the Diocese of San Diego. The missions are among the state's oldest structures and the most-visited historic monuments.
