All of the California missions were built to establish a foothold in California and to convert native populations. Each mission is a days ride from each other. Today all are California state historical property and open for services and visitors.

Because people would have gotten all confused if they'd put it in Santa Barbara. Anyway, the question has it exactly backwards. The Spanish missionaries were setting up a chain of missions a day's travel apart (along, or at least close to, what is today the route of El Camino Real). They didn't put the Santa Clara mission in Santa Clara... they put the Santa Clara mission near an existing native American settlement, and the city grew up around it and took its name from the mission.
Clara White Mission's motto is 'Food for today, skills for life.'.

The Santa Barbara mission is still in tact today. The mission was created in 1786 by Padre Lasuen as a means of converting Native Americans to Christianity.
