#327-1 Site of Original Mission Dolores Chapel and Dolores Lagoon
On June 29, 1776, Father Francisco Palou, a member of the Anza expedition, had a
brushwood shelter built here on the edge of a now vanished lake, Lago de Los Dolores (Lake of the Sorrows),
and offered the first
mass. The first mission was a log and thatch structure dedicated on October 9, 1776 when the necessary
documents arrived. The present Mission Doloreswas dedicated in 1791.
