Misión de San José del Cabo Añuití (church) - San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, México - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

ES: "La misión, como era costumbre, contó en un principio con un templo de materiales perecederos. En realidad a lo largo de los años en que los misioneros ocuparon este sitio nunca levantaron un edificio duradero. Por ello el actual recinto data de los primeros años de siglo XX. En cuanto a la oramentación de este templo, los documentos existentes hablan de que estaba pobremente decorado, con escasas pinturas y además con indumentaria del servicio litúrgico en proceso de deterioro pues era vieja y muy usada. De lo poco que se conservó está un cáliz de plata dorada con las marcas de la Casa de Moneda de México y del orfebre Herrera, quien ejerció su oficio entre los años 1882 y 1889. También existen varios libros de registros que forman parte de los archivos eclesiásticos, así como una curiosa campana de panza larga que cuelga en el campanario.
Los jesuitas pusieron dos de sus misiones californianas baio el patrocinio de San José; una de ellas es ésta y la otra es la de Comodú. Esta circunstancia se debió a la petición del Marqués de Villapuente, quién realizó el financiamiento para la fundación de las dos misiones.

EN: "The mission, as was customary, had at the beginning a temple of perishable materials. In fact, throughout the years that the missionaries occupied this site, they never erected a durable building. For that reason the present precinct dates from the first years of the XX century. As for the ornamentation of this temple, the existing documents speak that it was poorly decorated, with scarce paintings and also with liturgical service vestments in process of deterioration because it was old and very used. Of the little that was preserved is a gilded silver chalice with the marks of the Mexican Mint and of the goldsmith Herrera, who worked there between 1882 and 1889. There are also several record books that are part of the ecclesiastical archives, as well as a curious bell with a long belly that hangs in the bell tower.
The Jesuits placed two of their California missions under the patronage of St. Joseph; one of them is this one and the other is Comodú. This circumstance was due to the request of the Marquis of Villapuente, who financed the foundation of the two missions."
