When was it ended

Random_edits 158 | Oct 6, 2018
Melanie Sheats | Oct 6, 2018

Mission San Luis Obispo, like all the Alta Calfornia missions along the Camino Real, were sold after the Mexican Secularization Act of 1833. The last Franciscan Father Abella died in 1842. Soon after, in 1845, the Mexican Governor Pio Pico sold all the Mission's assets (except the church itself) for $510.00. In 1846, the United States Army used the church as a base of operations during the Mexican-American War. After the war, priests rented rooms in hopes of keeping the Mission open. But it soon fell into disrepair. The church temporarily became the county's first courthouse and jail. With the Mission's 100th Anniversary in 1872, improvements were started. But it wasn't until 1933 that interest in saving historic Mission San Luis Obispo became serious, bringing the Mission back to its original architectural structure. It currently serves as an active Roman Catholic parish. One could say this Mission never really "ended." Like all of the missions, it's had a complicated history.

Melanie Sheats | Oct 6, 2018

The nickname was the 'Prince of the Missions' because this Mission was named for the son of an Italian king (therefore a 'Prince') who gave up his fortune and his inheritance of the throne to became a Catholic Bishop --- The Mission of Saint Louis, Bishop of Toulouse.
