Father Kino brought with him ideas and material culture – chiefly the Christian faith, the Spanish language, cattle, and crops – that would change the region deeply and forever. Join us in retracing the steps of Kino and the missionaries who followed him. You’ll be guided by scholars and enthusiasts who know and love the region and volunteer their time to share it with others.

Domenico Pinti became the latest diocesan priest to enjoy the rank of “monsignor” following vespers and investiture July 15 in St. George Parish, Apache Junction. The ceremony followed the May 1 announcement that Pope Francis had named Father Pinti a “Chaplain to his Holiness,” with the title of “monsignor.” A native of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Tucson on Feb. 2, 1985. Following assignments as parochial vicar at St. Joseph’s and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Tucson, he was named pastor at St. Rose of Lima, Safford, in 1992. He was appointed pastor at St. George’s in 2004. Msgr. Pinti has also served on the Diocesan Pastoral Council, Presbyteral Council, Priests’ Retirement Board, Vocations Committee and the Catholic Foundation. More than three dozen priests and 100 parishioners attended the evening prayer ceremony, led by Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger and Phoenix auxiliary Bishop Eduardo A. Nevares. His elevation is the first since Msgrs. Al Schifano and Raul Trevizo received the titles in 2012. Besides Msgrs. Schifano, Trevizo and Pinti, the other monsignors in the Diocese are Thomas Cahalane, John Cusack, Jeremiah McCarthy, Thomas Millane, Ambrose Nwohu, Todd O’Leary, Robert Pearson and Carlos Romero Moreno.
