The Mission was founded on September 17, 1804 by Father Estevan Tapis, and was named in honor of Saint Agnes, an early Christian martyr of the fourth century. The Spanish for Agnes is Ines, hence the name of the church; the American Yankees anglicized the spelling of the Spanish pronunciation and named the town Santa Ynez.
Mission Santa Ines was named after Saint Agnes because the feast day of Saint Agnes falls on January 21st, which was the same day that the mission was founded in 1804. Saint Agnes is known as the patron saint of young girls, chastity, and purity.
The mission was named for St. Clare of Assisi
Santa Clara is named after Saint Clare of Assisi, an Italian saint who was a close friend of Saint Francis of Assisi. The city was named in the late 18th century by Spanish settlers who established a mission there in honor of the saint.
