Father Hidalgo
They are called a mission because it was the priest's mission to turn the Indians Catholic.
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 :)
to give the pilgrims a place to worships freely
Spanish priests set up missions in order to convert Native Americans to Christianity, as part of the Spanish colonization efforts. The missions also served as a way to assimilate Native Americans into Spanish society, while also providing labor for the Spanish settlers.
Fray Junipero Serra, a Spanish priest and explorer, was the Founder of the missions of California. These missions were the first settlements in California.
