Title supplied by cataloger. Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana (originally La Mission del Senor Fernando, Rey de Espana) was founded by father Fermin Lasuen on September 8, 1797, on the settlement located on the former Encino Rancho, in Mission Hills. An adobe chapel, which was built and blessed in December 1806, was damaged by the destructive earthquake of 1812 and a new church was completed in 1818. In 1845, Governor Pio Pico declared the Mission buildings for sale and in 1846, made Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana his headquarters. San Fernando's church became a working church again in 1923. In 1971, a large earthquake damaged the church again and it had to be completely rebuilt. The repairs were completed in 1974. It was dedicated as California Historic Landmark #157. And in 1999, it was also added to the National Register of Historic Places - Building #71001076. It continues to serve as a parish church.
