Texas Travel 365
While these missions have a troubled past and are not something we condone, there is still a lot to learn and see that make visiting these missions in Texas worth the trip.
Mission San Jose is located in San Antonio and is less than a 20 minute drive from The Alamo
Mission Espada was established in 1731 as a Roman Rite Catholic mission.
Originally located in New Mexico, Mission Corpus Christi de la Yselta can now be found in El Paso and is considered to be the oldest continuously occupied parish in Texas.
Mission Espiritu Santo has moved location three times, but now resides in Goliad, Texas. It is a part of Goliad State Park and is included in the National Register of Historic Places.
It is the oldest standing unrestored stone church in America and looks almost identical to how it did two centuries ago!
