San Xavier Mission

The Priest and his message was poignant . Who did God Send ? He sent us . The beginning and the middle and the end we rely on Jesus but in the middle sometimes he has to carry us through our burdens . Forgive 7 times 70 not for the evil done to you but so you can heal from the trauma . Beautiful Church 1/2 Mile hike ( not the churches property adjacent ) up a dirt hill . Nice clean walkways and neighborhood children riding bikes clean bathrooms . Music was heavenly Saturday 5 PM Mass was great go and you will be blessed . 10 people close to me died in last 3 years . Prayer cards $2 in gift shop .

We went on a Sunday, we've heard it's the best day to walk around with all the vendors there. We had a super nice visit and saw a lot of really nice crafts for sale. We did walk through the chapel quickly in-between services. What a beautiful place. Excited to go back for a full tour.

Outstanding historic church. Restoration has been ongoing for many years and I enjoyed seeing the progress. The gift shop does sell candles should you wish to light one and place it in the sanctuary or memorial chapel. They also have other lovely souvenirs! Very impressive and I am sure they would welcome charitable donations to keep the good work going.

Disappointed today because no vendors were outside - fry bread and jewery. Mission always worth a short visit. Refresh seams to be taking a long time, have been watching since 2019.

We stopped at this historical monument while vacationing in AZ.Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Several food vendors are also set up in the parking lot selling savory meals. Entrance is free. Masks are required; zero exceptions. We didn't have masks so were forced to purchase one for $1 each at the church before entering.Outdoor viewing is impressive and indoor viewing is gorgeous. Everything is well maintained and clean. There are several donation stands throughout the grounds to place money in to help with the church's upkeep. Bathroom facilities are large so that one doesn't need to wait in line. Be sure to check out the gift shop before leaving. Discover is an accepted form of payment.Our visit took about an hour with three of us. Thank you San Xavier for the peaceful and humbling visit.

this historic and magnificent building is definitely a top tourist destination for Arizona. If you've never been, it's an absolute must. The architecture is phenomenal. Such detail time and effort was not only put into building this church, but also to keep it intact and maintained. I could sit in here for hours staring at the amount of detail put into these walls and ceilings.

A bit far but it is a good experience for going on walks or just a good place in general

Very interesting and the shops and the Indian bread tacos are outstanding!! They make the bread right there so it's really fresh!!

We took our grandkids here several years ago and really enjoyed the mission. Great place to visit and have a nice walk.

A National Historic Landmark, San Xavier Mission was founded as a Catholic mission by Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. The museum is currently closed due to Covid, but the chapel and gift store are open.
