Banámichi

When Father Kino first came north to the Opatería, his last jumping off point before moving up the valley to establish his home mission of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de Cósari, was the already established mission to the Opata Indians called Los Santos Reyes de Cucurpe.

Other nearby missions to the Opata and Pimas Bajos Indians include:
Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Arizpe
San Ignacio de Cuquiárachi

San Cayetano de Calabazas  

Did You Know?
That the mission name "San Cayetano de Calabazas" means Saint Cajetan of Squash (Gourds, Pumpkins) in English.
