	Nuestra Señora De Guadalupe De Tolomato Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Tolomato (also called simply Mission Tolomato; in Spanish: ''Our Lady of Guadalupe - or Guadeloupe - of Tolomato'') was a Spanish Catholic mission founded in 1595 in what is now the state of Georgia, located north of the lands of the southernmost Native American Guale chiefdom, ''Asao-Talaxe''. Between the 17th and 18th centuries, the mission was re-established in several places. It was first destroyed in 1597 during the Native American uprising known as Juanillo's Revolt, which led to the martyrdom of five Fransicans. The mission was rebuilt in 1605 at the Native American village ''Espogache''. In the mid-1620s a new Tolomato mission was built at Guana near the capital of Florida, St. Augustine.P.
