Old Mission Church. It is 160 feet long by sixty in width - its walls are eighty feet in thickness. The height the nave is forty feet. On the wall to the right hangs a picture representing a king and a monk up to their middle in the flames of purgatory. On the other side is a picture of hell. Immediately before the altar is a trapdoor opening into the vaults where are buried the missionary padres. Over the altar are many rich images of the saints. Three silver candlesticks five feet high and a silver crucifix of the same height with a golden image of the Savior suspended on it stand within the church. A door in the eastern wall leads to the cemetery. :10
