He put Father Lopez in charge of the mission, making him the first parish priest in St. Augustine.
St Francis Barracks (Pass by)
Located on Marine Street, the St. Francis Barracks were constructed of coquina between 1724 and 1755 by Franciscan friars. The barracks were converted for military use when Florida was possessed by the British in 1763. n 1821, Florida would be claimed by the United States and the US Army took control of the barracks until deactivation in 1900 when it was leased to Florida State Troops, the forerunner of the present-day National Guard, in 1907.

Its design is based on the Basilica of St. Mark in Venice, Italy.
