San Solano Missions Day Trip

with Victor Jaimes

Join us on this special desert daytrip.
The Tohono O’odham Nation sits deep in the Sonoran Desert, about two-and-a-half hours’ drive south from Phoenix. It is about the size of Connecticut. The ancestral lands of the people spanned as far west as to the border of Baja California and as far south as the Sonoran capital city of Hermosillo.

For over 100 years, the friars have served thousands of our indigenous brothers and sisters. The friars established a dozen missions in the town of Topawa to serve over 50 villages on the reservation. These missions are called the San Solano Missions. You are invited to join us on this special desert daytrip experience to the San Solano Missions.

There, you will learn more deeply the pastoral work of the friars, experience the wondrous beauty of the Sonoran wilderness, and encounter the amazing Tohono O’odham culture.

Your registration fee will cover transportation, meals, and overall costs of running the program.

We will depart from the Casa at 8:00 am and return to the Casa at around 9:00pm.

If you would like to learn more about this daytrip experience, you are invited to come to the Info Session in Piper Hall on October 13 at 10:30 am. For general questions, email Victor at victor@thecasa.org or call 480.306.4027.

FEE: $100 per person. Pre-registration required.
