Mission
San Xavier
The White Dove of the Desert
San Xavier del Bac is a treasure of
southwestern history, an 18th century
religious beacon that calls all to experience. Whether your interests lie in
religion, history or art, San Xavier del Bac is an attraction you don’t want to
miss when visiting Tucson and Southern Arizona. It’s a destination of Catholic pilgrimage where locals and
visitors pray to Saint Francis for intercessory prayer to God. San Xavier del
Bac is a magnet to those that appreciate art, statues, sculptures and paintings
of its original times. The interior is filled with brightly painted carvings of
apostles and saints and ornate décor statues that are actually draped in real
clothing. Today, San Xavier del Bac is affectionately call the
“White Dove of the Desert” and sits stately on the land of the
Tohono O’odham Indians who have protected the mission for hundreds of years.
