Construction began almost immediately under the care of Fathers Jose Manuel de Martiarena and Pedro Martinez. By Christmas, because of the friendly and cooperative indigenous people, not only was there an adobe church built but also a grainary, barracks, a monastery, and some adobe houses.
In June, 1803, the cornerstone was laid for the present church. It was dedicated on June 23, 1812. Interior completion of the church continued through 1817 when the floor was tiled and the main altar and reredos were completed by Thomas Doak, an American sailor who jumped ship in Monterey.
The cemetery on the north side of the church contains the remains of over 4,000 Christian Native Americans and Europeans.
