The Mission Church San Xavier del Bac is the best of the old Spanish missions remaining in the United States. It is located on the Tono O'odham Native American reservation, 10 miles south of downtown Tucson, Arizona. The Mission was founded by the Jesuit Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. The present building was constructed by Franciscans between 1783 and 1797. It is an active church serving the Tono O' odham people. It has been called the most photogenic building in the United States. This book contains numerous color photographs of the Mission, both inside and out, indicative of the author/photographer's lifelong love affair with San Xavier. It also contains a brief history of the Mission.
