  1. Santa Clara de Asis “Mission Santa Clara was the 8th Mission founded in the Alta California mission chain. The Mission was founded on January 12, 1777 by Father Jose Murguia and Father Tomas de la Pena. The Mission was named after Saint Clare of Assisi. Saint Clare was a nun that founded the order of the Poor Clares.” 1 By : Trinh Duong Teacher : Mrs . Bernardis , 18

  3. Architectural Fact “The Fathers followed a regular plan for creating the layout of the mission buildings. Right after blessing the site the Fathers and the soldiers would start building a small building to hold the religious ceremonies, called a Mass. They would encourage local Natives to help them. Many often did; they were fascinated by the tools and gifts that the Fathers had brought with them. The first buildings would be built of wood poles and brush. Eventually the buildings would be replaced by larger adobe brick or stone buildings. After a chapel or church was finished where the Fathers and Neophytes could hold Mass they would start building the Convento. The Convento was where the Fathers would live.” 1

Eventually the buildings would be replaced by larger adobe brick or stone buildings. After a chapel or church was finished where the Fathers and Neophytes could hold Mass they would start building the Convento. The Convento was where the Fathers would live. Next would come workshops and the Monjerio. The Monjerio was where unmarried girls and women would live and be locked in at night. The Fathers didn’t think that unmarried girls and women should live near single men.” 1

  5. Interesting Fact “Those that lived at the Mission went by a strict schedule. The Fathers were used to this type of lifestyle, but the neophytes were not. The structure of Mission life was one of the reasons many Native Californians tried to leave. A French explorer, Jean Fran�ois de La P�rouse, visited Mission San Carlos is 1786 and wrote a detailed account of what he observed. Events at the Mission were signaled by the ringing of the Mission bells. Each day started around sunrise (about 6am). The Mission bells would ring to wake everyone and summon them to Mass and morning prayers. Prayer lasted for about an hour and then everyone would go to breakfast. Atole, a type of soup made from barley and other grains, would be served. Breakfast took about 45 minutes and then it was time for everyone to go to work.” 1

  6. Interesting Fact “Four bells hang in the companario, one of them an original donated to the mission in 1798 by King Carlos IV of Spain, who donated a second bell in 1799. The 1799 bell was broken during the 1929 fire that destrobyed the Church. In 1929, King Alphonse XIII of Spain donated a replacement bell and this bell is still in use.” 2

  7. Interesting Fact “Mission Santa Clara followed the standard quadrangle shape of most of the other Missions. The site of the Mission was changed five times. The first church had been too close to the Guadalupe river and was flooded in 1779. The Mission was moved and the next church was completed in 1784. A third church was constructed that had beautiful paintings and decorations. Two earthquakes in 1812 and 1818 caused the Mission to be moved again. The fourth church was temporary and a fifth and final replacement was finished in 1825.” 1

  8. Typical Day “The main tribe in the area around Mission Santa Clara was the Ohlone. Like most of the other tribes in California, the Chumash were nomadic. That means that they lived in one area for a time and would move their entire community to follow herds for food or when too much garbage piled up they would burn down the old ones and find another site to build their homes. Men hunted and fished to provide food while the women gathered acorns, wild herbs, roots, and berries to help feed their families. The Ohlone "lived by three rules: work hard, do not complain, and behave in a good way." 1
