Very inspirational:
The current altar at Mission San José in San Antonio was not built by a single person, but rather by various individuals over time. The mission was founded in 1720, and the present church was begun in 1758. The original mission compound included temporary religious structures, and construction on the present church was launched in 1768 under Father Pedro Ramírez de Arellano.
The present church of Mission San José was begun in 1758 with the cornerstone laid by Governor Don Hugo Oconor and Gaspar José Solis, a Franciscan inspector. It was not completed until 1782 but became “the most beautiful church along the entire frontier of New Spain."
