  1. San Luis Rey de Francia By Julia Erez 5-1-13 Gil

  2. Founding History • Mission San Luis Rey de Francia was founded on June 13,1789. • This mission was founded by Fr. Frmin Franciso Lasuen as the 18th mission founded out of all twenty-one missions. • This mission’s nickname is the King of the missions, because it has the largest population and is the biggest mission. • San Luis Rey de Francia was also named after French King Luis IX.

  3. Location • San Luis Rey de Francia is located at the edge of present day Ocean Side. • This mission is built near the Luiseno Indians in an area that gives the natives a lot of farmland to grow crops. • San Luis Rey de Francia extends over 6 acres and by the year of 1826, the quadrangle measured 500 feet on each side!

  4. Design/ Layout This mission includes workshops, a religious church, Friars’ Quarters, Soldiers’ Quarters, and a Cemetery. San Luis Rey de Francia contains only one Bell Tower that rings to tell the Natives when to go somewhere, or what time to leave . The quadrangle measured 500 ft. on each side.

  5. Mission Life Native American Daily Life Missionaries Daily Life The missionaries would be woken up and then they would immediately gather for morning prayers. They would eat breakfast consisting of oatmeal (usually) and then work cleaning the mission/daily chores. They were all religious and would go to church after a rest to say their prayers. After they went to Church their day would end by playing games, dancing, and then going to bed. • The Native Americans were woken up at by the ringing of the bells. • They would be taught Catholic lessons before breakfast. • They would be sent to classes or work to learn about Christianity. • Lunch for the Natives contained, orange trees, grapevines, wheat, hemp, and cattle they raised. • They would have a Fiesta/resting period after lunch and then they would say their church prayers. • Their day would end by playing games, dancing, and then going to bed.

  6. Mission Life Today San Luis Rey Francia is a working mission, that is still going on. (Its been going on for 215 years!) It is now also a museum and visitors center that is cared by people that belong to the parish. San Luis Rey de Francia is still being restored, you can take tours around the mission to see life-needed-tools. The attractions you can see today at this mission are, the sunken garden and the Landry rooms.

  7. Take a Stand As you may know, Native Americans that came to Mission San Luis de Francia had to follow a strict way of life. The mission system was invented by the Spanish Missionaries in 1769-1834 to force Natives into Christianity. I think the mission system was a bad way of life. Native Americans were forced to follow a different religion, and a certain way of life. • They had to follow a religion that they didn’t know anything about or believe in. • They had to speak a certain language, if they didn’t speak the language correctly, they would get whipped. • The Natives also had to dress a certain way to follow the religion they had to follow. The Natives got confused because changed their whole lifestyle. • They were forgetting their old language because everyone around them was speaking Spanish. • They were treated cruley if they forgot what/how to do something near perfect. They were treated with disrespect. • They would immediately get trapped if they didn’t understand a order that was asked. • Most would get very sick with small pox and sometimes die.(this happens mostly because they are treated badly and are forced to do something) • They were forced to follow a strict schedule without whining.
