Divine Mission, San Xavier del Bac

Her foundation is the Sonoran Desert. Her dome and towers reflect the memory of Spain. Her history and salvation are of two worlds – the old and the new. San Xavier del Bac, sometimes called the “White Dove of the Desert,” is the only Mexican baroque church in the United States that has survived the rise and fall of empires. Now the mission must battle the ravages of time. Divine Mission, San Xavier del Bac offers a look at historical, cultural and architectural influences and traces the conservation of this one-of-a-kind treasure. Linda Ronstadt narrates the film.
