Priest Holes were usually secret rooms which were hidden inside the walls of large houses, manors or churches. Usually in Catholic buildings in England within the countryside. They were used for hiding priests during times of persecution against Catholics.

Why were the Jesuits sometimes found in priest holes?

Priest holes were common in the homes of Catholics after Henry VIII began his full scale persecution of the Church and Catholics. Jesuits were often the missionary priests who sneaked into England to give the sacraments to the beleaguered Catholic laity - who were under the King's displeasure. If the authorities came to the house looking for a suspected priest, they were hidden in the "priest hole" until the authorities left.

What were mission jobs?

If you mean a mission as in a Spanish mission from 1610-1680 the jobs included things such as the Priest (of course) and Indian helpers. The priest baptized babies brought to him and converted the Pueblo Indians to Catholic. The Indians helped in anyways possible and they built the missions using adobe bricks built in Spanish style with vi-gas to support the roof and a bell tower on top to call the Indians and Spaniards to church. The priest also started a school to teach the Catholic religion to other Indians. Sometimes the mission would have Spanish warriors to protect the priest and anyone who disobeyed the priest. Mission was a group of Indians that obeyed the Preist. If I got it Right, i hope it helps :)
