What's Happening

May 7 (Wed): Kino’s Ocotillo Room at 10:00am

Miles Green, Executive Director of Patronato San Xavier del Bac will talk about his many visits to the Mission San Xavier del Bac from his first visit in his twenties where he watched a reenactment of Father Eusebio Francisco Kino’s arrival into the village of Wa:k, or “Bac”, to his current position as the Executive Director of Patronato San Xavier, the non-profit organization that, for four decades, has been funding and directing the preservation of the Mission buildings and conserving the irreplaceable artwork that adorns the walls of the 18th century church. He describes the opportunity as a “dream job” because he gets to work with a variety of interesting and knowledgeable people who share a passion for preserving these iconic structures for generations to come.
