(EDITOR’S NOTE: Faith and
Dan Kozick, former residents of the
Back Mountain area, have moved fo
the state of Arizona where Faith is
employed as an advertising sales-
person for the Arizona Desert Sun
newspaper in Apache Junction, Ari-
zona.
Mrs. Kozick is also the author of a
column in the Desert Sun, entitled
“A Letter Home’’ which describes
the many places she and her hus-
band have enjoyed visiting since
taking up residence in Arizona.
The Kozicks, who, at one time,
operated a beer distributorship in
the Back Mountain area, are fairly
well-known and left many friends
behind when they left for the West.
As tribute to them and their
contributions to the Back Mountain
while they resided here, The Dallas
Post has reprinted one of Faith’s
columns here for her friends and .
relatives to read.)
. The column is as follows:
Dear Family and Friends:
Not long ago, someone told us
about an old Mission south of
Tuscon named Mission San Xavier
del Bac, which is also known as the
“White Dove of the Desert.”
We made the drive south on a
lovely Sunday, leaving Apache
Junction about 10:30 a.m. The route
we took through Florence passes an
interesting spot called “Tom Mix
Wash.”
This is where the legendary hero
of the screen was killed in a car
wreck. A “wash” is a dry creek
except after a sudden or heavy rain.
The “Barrel Cactus” was in full
bloom and people were taking pic-
tures at many points along the road.
When we left the interstate and
proceeded toward San Xavier, we
saw a blinding white building in the
distance.
It rises from the dusty desert
floor like a beacon of light from a
sea coast lighthouse!
Direction signs pass by as you
just try to get closer to this beauti-
ful piece of the past, present and
future.
The history of the memorable
edifice leaves many unanswered
questions: Who was the architect?
Where were the skilled workers
botained? Why was the East Tower
unfinished?
History does show the Church was
built from 1783 to its completion in
1797.
The architecture is an amazing
combination of influences: Spanish,
Colonial, Moorish, Gothic and
Byzantine.
One cannot tell ‘where the style
begins and ends, it is all done so
harmoniously!
I'll try to describe the area
simply. As you face the Church, the
original facade with its faded paint
and reddish hue, stands in sharp
contrast to the 2 adjoining white
towers.
To the left of the church is the
mortuary chapel which is domes,
bellfried and overlook the old ceme-
tary. Two priests are entombed
within the chapel with a Latin
inscription on the marble slab
marking their memory.
On the right side of the Church,
adjoining the unfinished tower, are
workrooms, the original living
quarters, classrooms and a monas-
tery section.
High on a hill to the right is a
stark, white cross rising into a bluer
than blue sky. Climbing halfway up
the hill, one finds a replica of the
Lourdes in France.
At the main edifice, we found that
one can spend five minutes or hours
at this very different spot.
In five minutes, you see a very
old ‘building - wooden floors and
pews and what may seem very old
statues - paintings and furnishings
which should have been replaced a
hundred years ago!
As your eyes grow accustomed to
the dimness of the interior, certain
facts become apparent.
Fact No. 1: You just stepped back
in time almost 200 years ago!
Fact No. 2: You know that no
matter how long you spend here,
you’ll be back!
The plan of the church is that of
the Latin cross. The transept, or
cross aisle, terminates in side chap-
els. This separates the nave (main
aisle) from the apse (sanctuary).
The dome rises where the transept
and nave Cross.
A Baptistry is located on the left
just inside the church. The copper
basin within was used in 1700.
The apse contains the busts of
God the Father, Adam an Eve,
—Pd. Pol. Adv.
figures of the Immaculate Concep-
tion and Sts. Peter and Paul, St.
Francix Xavier andeven a vacant
niche for Judas.
Two altars are located in the left
chapel which is dedicated to the
Suffering Savior.
There is a sepulcher where lie;
the figure representing the body o
St. Francis Exavier. This image has
converted the chapel into a shrine of
pilgrimage.
Saints Joseph, Domoinic and
Francis of Assisi are also promi-
nently displayed in this section of
the church.
Our Lady of Sorrows has the other
chapel dedicated to her. Saints of
the Franciscan Order occupy the
medallions and niches of this
chapel.
A fresco shows the Blessed
Mother under her title, Queen of the
Holy Rosary.
Some of the curious appointments
are: a lion with human hands
instead of paws, a doorway painted
on a wall to achieve balance, Indian
cherubs placed higher than white
one and frescoes which were NOT
done on wet plaster.
A booklet is available to those
who wish to purchase it. An excel-
lent guidebook, its proceeds supple-
ment the restoration program.
In the back of this book is a
paragraph we would like to quote:
“The builder of San Xavier added
a grace note of humor to the superb
design of the facade. Clinging to the
inner curves of the lower volutes
are a cat and a mouse.
“Across the breadth of the gable
they glare at one another with
relentless suspicion. May they long
continue to do so, for the Indians of
San Xavier say, ‘When cat catches
mouse, end of world will come.’ ”’
The trip home was capped in an
unusual manner. An intermittent
shower to the east had produced one
of God’s colorful paintings, a half of
a flat rainbow!
Our best to all,
Faith and Dan
Library shelves
Regular users of the Back Moun-
tain Memorial Library have proba-
bly noticed that the book shelves
which house new books are becom-
ing empty. The reason is a book
purchasing moratorium has been in
effect for several months and will
not be lifted until everthing is
moved into the new building.
Some ways the library can be
helped to prevent our not getting the
new best sellers and other books of
literary quality are through dona-
tions of recently published books
from our library supporters. A new
program is being instituted titled,
the “Adopt a Book” fund, in which
money donated to this program will
go to purchase fiction and non-
fiction bestsellers so that the library
will not fall behind in its purchasing
program. A book playte will be
placed in the front of each book
added through this program with
the name of the person adopting the
book. You could adopt a book in
honor of a friend or relative or give
the library a book in honor of
someone’s birthday, anniversary or
some other special occasion. A con-
tainer will be placed at the circula-
tion desk for smaller donations
which we will use towards book
purchases.
Memorial Book contributions con-
tinue to supply the library with
quality non-fiction books that will
remain a lasting memorial in
memory of a loved one and still be
in the library long after the flowers
are gone.
All donations to the library are
tax-deductible and we will gladly
issue a tax receipt slip whenever
requested.
In addition, all Book Club dues
goes toward the purchase of books,
which are selected by the Book Club
selection committee. The Book Club
membership fee for the balance of
1984 is $7.50 for a double and $5.00
for a single membership. This mem-
bership entitles the borrower to take
the Book Club books out. You may
join the Book Club by paying your
membership dues at the circulation
desk in the main library.
The library has a very enthusias-
tic group of volunteers and many
dedicated staff members who are
working together to find ways and
means to continue the high level of
service to our community which we
have in the past. As they begin in
earnest to start the move into our
new building, they need community
support in so many ways.
As the slogan on the library’s
letterhead reads, ‘A perpetual,
living memorial to the Back Moun-
tain men and women who have
served in all wars to preserve the
American ideal,’ the library staff is
striving to continue this memorial.
