Father Serra started the missions to teach Indians their ways. His goal was to take them away from what he calls, "A vicious habit and weird ways" and turn them into Spanish people. When they first found the Indians, what was normal to the Indians (such as wearing little or no clothes, eating with fingers and catching own food, and other things) was weird to the Spanish explorers and settlers. So basicly, their goal was to change the Indians ways. Hope that helped you!

The primary goal of missions in Spanish colonial society was to spread Christianity to indigenous populations and convert them to Catholicism. Missionaries also aimed to establish settlements, control land, and enforce Spanish rule over the native peoples. Additionally, missions served to integrate indigenous communities into the colonial economy and society.
Fray Junipero Serra, a Spanish priest and explorer, was the Founder of the missions of California. These missions were the first settlements in California.
