Visit San Xavier Mission

Mission Tours

With the permission of the Parish, the Patronato San Xavier is pleased to offer docent-led tours of Mission San Xavier to the public on a donation basis. These Public Tours generally take place several times a day, Monday through Saturday. Our docents are community volunteers trained in the history, architecture, and culture of the Mission and its surroundings, as well as the interior and exterior conservation and preservation work of the Patronato. Each tour is approximately 30 minutes and requires no advance registration. Please note that in order to comply with Parish directives to preserve the Church as a sacred space for worshippers, tours take place on Mission grounds but do not include the Church interior. All visitors are welcome to visit the Church on their own before or after a tour.

Docent Tour Schedule

Public tours are offered on a donation basis Monday through Friday and, when possible, on Saturday. There is no need to register ahead; suggested donation is $5 per person.

Please note that tour times vary by season, and may vary by day of week. As we work to rebuild our Docent program following Covid, there may be times when no Docent is available and tours cannot be offered. Tour questions can be answered Monday thru Thursday between 8 am and noon AZ time by emailing Kathy at k.baily@patronatosanxavier.org.
