This mission is located in Loreto Mexico. It is the first mission which makes it special. It was founded by father Juan Maria de Salvatierra on October 25, 1697. It has survived hurricanes and earthquakes that have many times almost destroyed it. This settlement was a success and Loreto became the center for government and the military. This mission also became the center for building other missions throughout Baja and California. Without this mission, there would be no others, and that is why it is so important. 23 other missions were built, and this mission served as the leader. All in all, I think this is a cool mission because it is the very first one.
