Father Massanet, also known as Fray Francisco de la Asunción Massanet, was a Spanish Franciscan missionary and explorer in the 17th century. He is best known for his role in the early Spanish missions in Texas, particularly the establishment of Mission San Francisco de la Espada in 1690, which was one of the first missions in the region. Massanet sought to convert Native Americans to Christianity and expand Spanish influence in North America. His efforts were part of a broader campaign by Spain to colonize and evangelize the territory.
