When the Santa Rosa de Lima Mission was built 85 years ago, those who helped construct the church in the Old Pascua Village embedded a time capsule into its adobe walls.
On Saturday, the contents of the time capsule, will be revealed and those who attend the opening are invited to bring their own item or add their names to the capsule that will be re-sealed.
The opening, which will also feature traditional Yaqui dancers and traditional Yaqui food, is meant to help kick off the church's efforts to help raise money for much needed restoration work and also so elders in the community who helped build the church have the chance to see what's inside.
There are only about two people who helped with the construction of the church, 2015 N. Calle Central, that are still alive, said Patricia Noriega Romero, vice president of the church committee.
"I know that there's documents in there with the names of our elders who built this church and I'm hoping I'm going to find my great great grandfather's name," she said.
Aside from the documents, it's unknown what else is in the capsule, she said.
Longtime members of the church described it as a special place in the community.
"Our ancestors and family members built it when they were young. They built it for the community so we could have religion and things going on for the benefit of the community and the people of the neighborhood," Touch Romero, president of the church committee, said.
He recalled attending a learning center at the church led by nuns who taught the children reading, writing and arithmetic. When kids completed their lessons, they would earn points that could be exchanged for prizes, like toys or gifts that could be given to their parents.
After weekly Catechism lessons the nuns would give the children doughnuts and chocolate milk, treats they rarely got at home, Romero said.

Time capsule at Yaqui mission to be unveiled
S
When a stranger demands that you take off your shoes in public, it usually means you're about to get on a plane. But at David Zwirner Galleryknown for its blockbuster installations and huge lines of fans who come to Instagram themyou're about to experience an otherworldly installation.
The airport comparison is actually pretty apt. The artist behind the gallery's current show, Doug Wheeler, is an avid pilothe is fascinated by the sky and earth, and his immersive light sculptures seem to draw from the lonely travels of a celestial navigator.
This month, Wheeler debuted a piece that he calls "a rotational horizon work," about which he is willfully mysterious. He doesn't allow outside photographersso I'll try to describe it for you. First, a gallery attendant asks you to take off your shoes and don hospital booties. Then, you're led into a darkened corridor. An intense blue light radiates from a rectangular hole in one wall of the gallery, about the shape of a door frame:
S
The light that emerges from this shape is almost like a halo or aurait feels like you're walking into a fog of blue light. But once you step over the threshold and onto the smooth white floor inside, everything changes: Now, you're inside a spherical hall with absolutely no defining featureslike an IMAX theater covered in white plaster.
The floor is rimmed with hundreds of hidden LEDs, which shift colors ever-so-slightly in five-minute intervals. Once you've reached the center of the room, you realize you're standing far higher than you were when you arrived. That's because the floor is convex, making it a disembodied analog for the earth, with the LEDs marking the horizon:
S
The strangest part? Your only point of reference is yourselfand the door you came in through. Otherwise, you could be in a room as big as Madison Square Garden. It's impossible to tell how high the ceiling is. The blue light turns you and your companions into stark, blue-tinted creatures. The Earth's horizon seems to move around you, as though you were in a jet far above the Arctic Circle. In fact, the curators describe the effect as "mimicking the sensation of the earth's rotational pull and curvature."
It's as if Wheeler is casting you as an actor in some heavenly drama. In fact, that's the whole point. "We have first-hand experiences, and those are the ones we don't forget. They stay with us and hopefully they're meaningful enough that they're with you the rest of your life," Wheeler, who lives in California, has said. "That's pretty much what I've always been after. I've always tried to do that stuff that has an effect on you that you never forget the first time."
