November 1, 1776, on All Saints Day.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Juan_Capistrano
"Mission San Juan Capistrano was founded on All Saints Day (November 1), 1776. Named for a 15th-century theologian and "warrior priest" who resided in the Abruzzo region of Italy, San Juan Capistrano has the distinction of being home to the oldest building in California still in use, a chapel built in 1782; known alternately as "Serra's Chapel" and "Father Serra's Church," it the only extant structure wherein it has been documented that the padre officiated over mass."

An Indian attack which had killed one of the padres at San Diego caused the founding of Mission San Juan Capistrano to be delayed a full year, until November 1, 1776. The next year a long narrow adobe church was finished. In 1791 a bell tower was completed, and the heavy bells, which had been hanging from a tree all those years, were installed.
