The Old Adobe Mission — originally Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church — was hand-built by Mexicans who first settled in Scottsdale in the late 1910s. Upon completion in 1933, this was the first Catholic parish in Scottsdale. Designed by Robert T. Evans, it features beautiful Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and handcrafted stained-glass windows. In 1949, it became a parish, and it served its community until 1956 when the parish outgrew the building and moved into a larger church

Today it stands as a historic monument, as both the oldest standing church in Scottsdale and as one of only three remaining adobe structures in downtown Scottsdale. The mission host a variety of annual events, including Dia del los Muertos and a live nativity. For all who visit it provides a one-of-a-kind setting for historical reflection and spiritual solitude.

The mission is open daily, and offers private tours for groups of four to 20.
