In mid-June of 1731 he rode to the Pimería Alta. He was assigned first to San Xavier, then to Guevavi in 1733, succeeding Grazhofer. He was 43 at the time. Falling ill in 1734, he left Guevavi and went to Tecoripa in the Pimería Baja. He later became Father Visitor and tried to re-establish the Pimeria Alta missions.
