Outpost, settlement, or visita
As far as I can tell, visita does not have an exact English translation. The web page of the California Parks Department <http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=22679> uses "visita" where mission does not apply.
An online travel guide uses "outstation," but I think "outpost" is better English.
"Todos Santos - Right around on the western coast of the cape, but still only a two-hour bus trip from San Jose del Cabo, is the crafty town of Todos Santos. This small, charming grid of streets hosted a Jesuit visita (outstation) in the 18th century"

From "COMPILATION Of COLONIAL SPANISH TERMS And DOCUMENT RELATED PHRASES:"
"Visita;
(1) General or specific investigation of governmental operation and abuses.
(2) Tour of inspection made by a bishop or his delegate of the parishes in the diocese.
(3) Tour of inspection by an oidor in some area of the audiencia's jurisdiction
(4) Church of ease, visited at times by nonresident priests. Settlement on the circuit of a priest or friar.
(5) The home base of a band in Indians attached to but not resident at a mission - so named because it was visited at set intervals by the missionary.

itinerant (parish priests etc.)
if it is the idea of shared church officiators who move around various churches. Does this fit ? backed by :

missionaries’ lodge at Calabazas
Entendiendo que se trata de un hospedaje para los misioneros, tal vez sea aceptable esta descripción genérica. Dudo mucho que haya existido una palabra en inglés para ese tipo de albergue en el suroeste de EEUU. Pienso que los angloparlantes también le han llamado “visitas”.
