The original mission was founded in 1687 by, Jesuit missionary Eusebio Francisco Kino. Some buildings were constructed by Jesuit missionary Jacobo Sedelmayer.
On February 3, "1768," King Carlos III ordered theââJesuits forcibly expelled from New Spain and returnedââto the "home country." That year, the Franciscans arrivedââto take over the mission.
In Jesuit records, the mission is called Los Siete PrĂncipes del Ătil (The Seven Archangels of Ătil). The name of the mission was changed when the Franciscans arrived in 1768.
