• Founded 19 missions in Baja California over a 70 year period.
• Nuestra Señora de Loreto de Conchó (1697) was the first permanent Jesuit mission, founded by Father Juan Ma. de Salvatierra.
• The Jesuits were influential in shaping the development of the Baja California peninsula by evangelizing and introducing cultural practices. The fathers changed the lives of the indigenous people, creating an economic system that helped sustain the missions.
