Mission San Francisco de Asís
Mission San Francisco de Asís was a place where people went a long, long time ago to learn about a new way of life, called Christianity.
The people who started the mission were called the Spanish, and they came from a faraway place on boats called ships. They wanted to teach the people who already lived there, called the Ohlone people, about their religion and how to live like them.
The mission was like a big farm where they grew plants to eat and animals to take care of. The Ohlone people helped the Spanish with the work, and in exchange, they were supposed to learn about Christianity.
At the mission, there was a big church where people went to pray and learn about the Bible. They also learned how to do things like sewing, cooking, and making things out of wood.
But the mission wasn't always a happy place. Sometimes, the Ohlone people were treated unfairly by the Spanish. They had to work long hours, and they weren't allowed to leave the mission without permission. This made some of them very sad, and they missed their families and homes.
Eventually, more people moved to the area and the mission changed. It became a big city, now called San Francisco. But parts of the mission still exist today, like the big church where people still go to pray and learn about Christianity.
