SAN XAVIER DEL BAC MISSION REVIEWS
Wow!!! When I saw this place from a distance, I started to realize how big it truly is. The place is beautiful, and the artwork is tremendous. This place was on our list to stop by and see for years but each time we came by something happened and we could not stop, but this time, we made a special stop just to see this Mission and it was well worth it.
I am so glad I came to visit. Incredibly beautiful church and well maintained, rich with so much history. Love the Moorish touches. The outside garden is also lovely and the gift shop was great. Incredible architecture and details. Burrito was also nice and filling.
The "White Dove of the Desert" You want to live history, this is living history. Beautiful structure still used for daily mass. Enjoy the native fried bread. Inspirational. Great place for a hike, too.

St. Augustine Cathedral in Tucson offers all sacraments, including baptism and holy matrimony, to its parishioners. Established in 1776, the cathedral has over two centuries of rich history. In the late 1800s, additional structures were constructed next to the Cathedral to provide parishioners and clergy housing, offices, and community meeting spaces. Originally a modest two-room house, this building gradually evolved into the traditional Cathedral of Saint Augustine, serving the needs of parishioners and the wider Tucson Diocese. The Cathedral's façade tells the beautiful story of the church and desert life, reflecting the region's unique cultural heritage. Pastors at St. Augustine Cathedral value the sense of camaraderie among families and friends, and the Eucharist plays a central role in nourishing the community. The cathedral is dedicated to spreading God's love to all, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As a Parish Community, they strive to fulfill this mission by constantly developing pastoral programs that meet the needs of both their parishioners and the wider community.
UNIQUE FACTS:
• Holy Spirit

Sooo cool, they are super welcoming to the public. And have a couple areas to look through and learn about the history and culture. They have a gift shop and a little market upfront where there were some booths to get tasty food. A very cool experience! They even have certain times for mass which would be cool to attend.
Beautiful Catholic Church nestled in the old town of Tucson. When you enter the church you feel a great sense of faith. Beautiful murals on the vestibule walls.

OUR MOTHER OF SORROWS CATHOLIC CHURCH REVIEWS
I joined OMOS after moving back to the east side of Tucson. As a young girl I attended OMOS for kindergarten. After becoming a new parishioner Monsignor Tom called and welcomed our family to the parish. In all the Catholic Churches I've ever become a parishioner in (due to moving to different parts of Tucson) I've never received a call of welcoming. The moment I stepped into the church it felt like home and has ever since. My family dynamic has changed but I continue to attend mass at OMOS feeling each and every time like I'm coming home.
Our girls like the religious education classes and we enjoy being able to attend mass without interruptions from our kiddos lol. They do have seating areas for those with kids that are a little more energetic then others which is nice. (We have had to use them a few times) and they seem to be cleaned up well and one even has a bathroom for an emergency.
I was so happy to see this charge station, as they are becoming rarer by the day. The screen was malfunctioning, but I just called the Blink customer service number and they entered everything on their end manually
