Mission San Xavier del Bac, sometimes called The White Dove of the Desert, sits ten miles south of downtown Tucson on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation. Patronato San Xavier, a nonsectarian nonprofit organization, has launched the ‘White Dove Campaign’ to restore the East Tower of San Xavier del Bac. It is a major project in the continued effort to restore and preserve the structural integrity of this 200-year old National Historic Landmark.
