Mission Conception



Spain established a string of five missions along the San Antonio River. The Alamo is the northern most, and Mission Conception is four or five miles to the south. Spain was attempting to keep the French out of Mexico by occupying this land with both Church and military. There is still an active congregation at Mission San Jose and services every Sunday complete with mariachi music.
