Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad was founded 9 October 1791 (13^th in order) by Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuén. The Mission is named for Our Lady of Sorrows. The Indian name was Chuttusgelis. The Mission was twice destroyed by floods and the third flood basically marked the end for the Mission. A small chapel and adobe ruins are all that was left standing. The recreation currently standing was started in 1954. The church at the Mission is currently used the first Sunday of each month for Mass and at various times for special services such as weddings.
