Personal Information Surname: Garcia Rojas Given Name: Trinidad Sex: M Place of Birth: Date of Birth: Order: Place of Death: Date of Death: Cause of Death: Race or Tribe: Residence: San Ignacio; Ures Title: Cura Bachiller Place of Service: Santa Cruz Valley; San Ignacio; Ures Burial Place: Translation: Notes: Once a year between 1844-1848, Fray Bachiller Don Trinidad García Rojas a parish priest from San Ignacio, heavily escorted, rode circuit down the Santa Cruz Valley. In the massive Church at Tumacácori, beset now at ground level by an army of thirsty mesquite, he celebrated baptisms and marriages for the impoverished Indian remnant. The record of these services, which he entered in the books of San Ignacio, gave lie to the Aguilar-Gándara claim that the mission was despoblado (abandoned). García Rojas began his service at San Ignacio on June 20, 1844.
