The Mission

The sacred task

The Mission is a neighborhood in San Francisco, historically a center of Latino culture and working-class community, now also known for gentrification tensions and tech-industry influx.

Named for Mission Dolores, the Spanish colonial church founded there in 1776.

The name appears in many cities for districts near old Spanish missions.
