San Xavier del Bac Mission


This beautiful mission was built in 1783 on the Papago Indian settlement south of Tuscon. The active mission is currently in restoration.

"The White Dove of the South" was founded in 1692 by Father Kino of Tumacacori Mission. It is one of the best preserved and most exquisite old Spanish Missions in the Southwest.

Services are held regularly at the church. There is also an active school on the campus.
