  1. Nuestra Señora de la Soledad By: Bethany Folks Mission number #13

  2. History of the Mission Mission thirteen was founded by Franciscan Lasuén. It is located near the present- day town of Soledad, California, is linked between Carmel and San Antonio de Padua, and is a days walk to missions 15, 12, 14, and 11. Mission Soledad was founded October 9, 1791.

  3. Daily Life Indians and padres lived at this mission. Also several herds of cattle, thousands of sheep, and five hundred horses. The Indians worked in the field and tended with the animals. Padres preached to the Indians and brought them to Christianity.

  4. Special features • Mission 13 has two nicknames. Soledad mission, and mission Soledad. • At Soledad there were many rooms. There was a church for praying, a kitchen (of course!) for eating, fields for the animals and crops, and the bell tower. • Did you know? In 1824, the Salinas River rose and destroyed the church. Four years later, floods destroyed the chapel replacing the church.

  5. Historic Highlights All the Indians and padres died of sickness. Near 1835, the mission fell into disrepair and was soon left in ruins. The mission was made out of abode brick and is now rebuilt and located in the heart of “the wine country.”

  6. Mission Today Because it was destroyed near 1835, mission Soledad was rebuilt and is open for mission tours today.
