Description

No, not THAT San Juan Capistrano, the one in Texas, near San Antonio! Like the other missions around San Antonio (except for the Alamo), this is an active parish. It is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that includes all the San Antonio Spanish Misions. Mission San Juan Capistrano moved from East Texas to its present site about 12 miles from the Alamo in 1731. It did not make as much progress as did the other San Antonio missions because of frequent Indian attacks and the lack of sufficient lands. The Mission was secularized on July 14, 1794, after which time it was attended by the resident priest at Mission San Francisco de la Espada, until about 1813; it was then attended by the one remaining missionary at the nearby Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo until 1824. Mission San Juan was largely neglected until 1840, when religious services were once again conducted, this time by diocesan priests. Members of the Claretian and Redemptorist Orders also held mass in the church until 1967, when the Franciscans returned to Mission San Juan.
