With the ongoing process of Padre Kino’s elevation to sainthood in the Catholic Church, this pioneer explorer is now receiving international attention and acclaim. Father Greg Adolf of the Southwestern Mission Research Center and Kino Heritage Society will give an overview of Padre Kino’s life (1645-1711) and extraordinary range of activities during his 24 years in the Pimeria Alta of southern Arizona and northern Sonora. He will also discuss his continuing impact on the cultures and the self-understanding of the people in the area.
