The church apparently had a facelift by the Franciscans as was mentioned in the diaries dating 1788 and 1797. It was perhaps at this time when it got the Franciscan facade. Interestingly enough it kept its flat roofed Jesuit architecture. The only one standing today among Kino s missions. The name San Antonio de Padua was taken from the patron saint of Oquitoa s first priest, Father Antonio Arias.
Today there are only a few relics of the mission period.
A baptismal font made of copper was unlike the typical stone and copper models of its day. Six pictures of the crucifixion were painted by Mexican artists in the early 1800s. Perhaps the four old rifles and three small bronze bells noted in 1935 can still be seen in the sacristy. The choir loft and two side windows were reconstructed in 1920. The doors are made of mesquite.
