Today, all that remains of the original mission is the church and garden. There are about 2000 families that go to the church at the mission. There is also a museum that shows Chumas Indian artifacts. The mission is different because it has a three story school building for pre-kindergarden to 8th grade students.



The mission survived ten earthquakes, but was destroyed by a tidal wave. In 1792 the mission's first church was destroyed by a fire. They built a new church that was finished in 1809. In 1857 the mission's tile roof was replaced by a shingle roof because of a big earthquake. In 1893 Father Rubio “modernized” the interior of the church.
