It’s a nice mission.too modern for my taste. Too many people at the same time. Small museum. Grounds are well kept and there was almost nothing that we saw that was part of the old mission. Takes away the historic point of view.

Beautiful garden to walk around with the family.
Nice old bells, grinding wheel, stone oven, etc to see there.
There's a church, church gift shop, and some other stuff that I didn't peruse, but others would probably enjoy.

Well, I am in RCIA at St. Patrick's Church in AG. The Mission is a Catholic Church, so 5 stars! I will be going through the Rite of Election in 2024 at this Mission.

Beautiful historic place. Love to visit the mission when we're in the area. Check out the museum and the gift shop when you're there.

We are from out of town. Beautiful setting and a beautiful service. The priest gave an excellent homily. The music was lovely. There is also a museum for the history of the Mission and a gift store.

It’s pristine and a holy place even if you aren’t a person of faith. It’s lovely to explore. A great place to meditate and contemplate.

Parking is horrible and homeless people or drug addicts walking around was going to have my wedding there but after that definitely not sad to see a mission in that shape

The mission St. Louis is celebrating it’s 250th anniversary this year and the church has been beautifully renovated. The ground surrounding the church are also worth a visit.

Very informative and interesting place. Both buildings and surroundings are very much enjoyable and the historical value is no less important.

A very active mission. There was a wedding and a couple quinceaneras plus mass happening the day I went. Plenty of historical information and displays like most Spanish Missions and this one is nice because they give a tour with a decently informed volunteer tour guide.

One thing I noticed is that this Spanish mission, in comparison to say the mission in Santa Cruz, focuses much more on the Mexican and Spanish commercial trade and church operations during the 18th and 19th centurary instead of the oppression of the Native American by the Spanish, Church and westward colonist expansion. This is a tragedy.

Overall, it's busy but with a beautiful garden and some nice exhibits but lacks information of the local native tribes and their exploitation.
