<P> Beginning in October 1823 Fr . Altimira had the opportunity to build his new mission at the location he chose but since Mission San Francisco de Asís would remain open this Mission needed a different patron saint . Altimira chose San Francisco Solano , a 17th - century Franciscan missionary to South America . His company of soldiers and neophytes set about building all the facilities needed in a California mission . His annual report for 1823 listed no baptisms , one marriage , one funeral , a population of 482 Indians ( all transferred from other missions ) and 1341 animals . The work had started too late in the year for anything to be planted and harvested . </P>
