San Xavier del Bac Mission hits restoration milestone
East Tower's scaffolding, fencing removed FridayTUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A project that began in early 2021 at San Xavier del Bac Mission is nearly complete.
The front of the mission’s East Tower saw major restoration work during that time.
On Friday, workers cleared the scaffolding and fencing around the restoration site, giving visitors an unobstructed view of the restored tower just in time for Holy Week.

“When we took apart the plaster on there, there was a lot of blocks that were really deteriorating,” mason Jarvis Juan said. “You could just hit it with your hand and pull it apart. So we had to replace a lot of those.”
