Leland Foerster: " Sidedoor, San Javier"


" Sidedoor, San Javier"

The Jesuits constructed the stone church at San Javier from 1744 to 1758. Padre Baegert, the Jesuit who supervised the construction of neighboring San Luis Gonzaga, described the building process in some detail: "Building material like workable stone, and limestone is difficult to find at most missions. However... time, industry, hard work, patience, and a large number of donkeys and mules will overcome all difficulties."
