Storm clouds swirl above as a reminder of the struggles these gentle people faced. Not only did they battle nature, but the mission became their only refuge against the constant attacks by the fierce Apache Indians."The mission, home to statues draped in real clothing and brightly painted carvings, is open to the public every day as well as those on pilgrimage.
