Founded in 1692, Mission San Xavier del Bac is situated in the center of
a Papago Indian settlement, along the banks of the Santa Cruz River,
approximately seven miles south of present day Tucson, AZ. Construction
required fourteen years of labor from 1783-1797. The mission has been
restored many times and has kept the beautiful white stucco exterior,
thus the name: The White Dove of the Desert, “La Paloma Blanca”.
