There was a time not long ago when the Mission San Xavier del Bac stood in crumbling disrepair, its statues smeared by centuries of soot and dust, its ornate trimmings ensconced behind the general malaise of neglect. The collection includes photos of the restoration work still taking place, and timeless portraits of the mission's rich past.
