The mission was constructed between 1783-1797. The mission continues to serve the Catholic community of the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'odham Nation. The dome above the transept is 52 feet high and is supported by arches and squinches. Three different artists are credited with the painting of the interior of the mission.
