Built over a period of 14 years with native labor, the mission was finished in 1797 and continues to be the religious center for the Tohono O'odham Native Americans.The interior is beautiful! Colorful paintings, frescos, plaster moldings, carvings and statues were completely restored in the 1990s. The mission is opened to tour except during masses or other services. There’s also a small museum and a gift shop on the grounds.
There aren’t any steps in the church just a few short, slightly sloped ramps. The museum and gift shop are also very accessible. The last room of the museum has steps but can be viewed by entering through the exit doorway. Paved walkways lead from the parking lot to the church entrance.
There are several large lots with plenty of room for any RV. Mission
