Mission Xavier del Bac

Driving south on Interstate 19 just south of Tucson, AZ you’ll see the beautiful white structure off to the right.

Built in 1797, the spiritual power of the still active Mission San Xavier was palpable.

  2. Wow! Isn’t it incredible to consider the effort and resources it must have demanded to create such a place in the middle of the desert — in 1797?! It never ceases to amaze me what people can accomplish when they’re moved by a sense of purpose and faith. Thank you for conveying that with your beautiful images, Tom.
