Mission Santa Teresa de Ádid
Santa Teresa de Ádid, sometimes mistakenly called Santa Teresa de Átil, is a historic Spanish mission located near the small town of Atil, Sonora. It was a visita of Mission San Pedro y San Pablo del Tubutama.
History
[edit]Jesuit missionary Eusebio Kino founded a ranch at Santa Teresa in 1701. The first priest assigned to the mission was Gerónimo Minutuli, another Jesuit.[1]
On February 3, 1768, King Carlos III ordered the Jesuits forcibly expelled from New Spain and returned to the home country. That year, the Franciscans arrived to take over the mission.
