Our History


It is easy to think of America from the perspective of the Pilgrims or the mostly English and French that settled much of what we now call our own. In the south and particularly in the American Southwest, the Spanish were first and remain a strong influence. Today we visted San Xavier Mission near Tucson. It not only is a reflection of that history, but a genuine place of worship and reflection still in use after over two centuries.
