Mission San Rafael Archangel, established in 1817 in California, was unique as it functioned primarily as a hospital mission, focusing on the care of Native Americans and soldiers rather than traditional agricultural activities. Unlike many other missions, it had a more significant emphasis on health and welfare, serving as a refuge for those suffering from diseases. Additionally, it played a crucial role in the transition from Spanish to Mexican control, reflecting the changing political landscape of the time. Its distinct purpose contributed to its historical significance within the California mission system.

The "Padres" of San Rafael Arcángel typically refer to the Franciscan missionaries who played a significant role in the establishment of the San Rafael Arcángel mission in California during the early 19th century. The mission was founded in 1817 as part of the Spanish mission system to spread Christianity among Indigenous peoples. The Franciscans, particularly notable figures like Father Vicente de Sarria, were instrumental in its establishment and operation. Today, San Rafael is also recognized as a city in Marin County, California, named after the archangel.
At the San Rafael Archangel mission, animals were primarily used for agricultural purposes such as farming, transportation, and providing wool and other animal products. They were also used for labor in construction and other tasks necessary for the operation of the mission.
Rafael is Spanish for Raphael and we so have Saint Raphael the Archangel.
