What is the purpose and location of Mission San Gabriel Arcangel? Mission San Gabriel Arcangel was founded as part of the effort by the Spanish to settle the territory known as Alta California. The purpose of the mission was to build a community of Christian men and women who would be loyal to the Spanish Crown. An important objective, particularly for the missionaries, was to covert the natives to the Catholic faith.
The Pueblo of San Jose, the first non-religious Spanish settlement in California, had been founded several years before near the Guadalupe River. The site for the Mission was chosen because it had good soil and was near a large tribe of Ohlone.eginnings of the Mission. Mission San Jose was founded on June 11, 1797 by Father Fermin Lasuen. Father Lasuen dedicated the 14th mission in the chain to Saint Joseph. Mission San Jose was sent livestock and supplies from Mission Santa Clara and Mission San Francisco de Asis to help them get established.
