The Pilgrimage to Magdalena

Border Community Alliance (BCA) is proud to present our award-winning film, “The Pilgrimage to Magdalena.”  This 30-minute film documents the centuries-old, cross-border October pilgrimage of hundreds of people each year to Magdalena, Sonora, site of the Saint Maria Magdalena Church.  The church holds both the remains of Father Eusebio Francisco Kino and a life-sized reclining statue of Saint Francis Xavier, the informal patron of the Pimería Alta. Saint Francis is honored in October each year with the largest religious pilgrimage and fiesta in Sonora.

If you are interested in having a showing of the film for a group or organization, please contact our office. DVDs of the film can be purchased for private use only for $35. Mail a check to our office or call to purchase with a credit card.
