I wish to apologize to anyone who may be having trouble making comments on my posts. I appreciate your visit so much, and wish I could read what you have to say, but something is going on with my computer, and until I can get the issue addressed, this may continue. Please keep visiting! Also, often I cannot make a comment on some posts I look at, particularly those who ask for me to show I am a guest. I have noticed sometimes someone can only comment in the "Reply" section of another comment...if that's all that works, then that's fine! Let's keep visiting no matter what happens, and know we are touching each other with our creativity and thoughts and images even when we can't get (or leave) feedback. God bless you my dear blogger friends!

St. Ann's Catholic Church

In Tubac, AZ is St. Ann's, built in 1929.  It was however built on the foundations of the 1767 Santa Gertrudis de Tubac which in its turn had replaced the original church built there by Father Kino and destroyed in the uprising of the Tohono O'Odham which largely razed Tubac itself.

We were there right before dusk and did not go in, though I understand it it usually open.

This flikr photo shows the interior.

The tile street sign features the church.
Joining InSPIREd Sunday with thanks to Beth and Sally!

Hi Marie,
It's amazing that they were able to reuse the foundation from 1767. The tile sign is wonderful. Tom The Backroads Traveller

I love the inside of this church especially the coloring. Which area of Arizona is Tubac located?

A pretty little church.
For me it seems, that you have many modern churches in the States, here in Germany they are almost very old...
Have a great new week :-)
