Mexican families were brought to Scottsdale by businessmen in need of labor in the 1910's, with the approval of the U.S. and Mexican governments. Scottsdale had a Methodist Church and a Baptist Church, but no Catholic Church during that period.
So how do you think Mexican immigrant laborers acquired the land and built a church? More history will unfold tomorrow.
This week we have photos illustrating the industry of Egyptian people and civilization posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

Love the look of this structure. Nothing screams southwest more than an adobe against a blue sky!
Looking forward to the details.
Given Arizona's recent politics, it is interesting to learn that this landmark was built as a result of Arizonans welcoming Mexican immigrants.
