St. Francis Cathedral Neighborhood: Plaza/ Downtown Address: 231 Cathedral Pl., Santa Fe Phone: (505) 982-5619 This magnificent cathedral is a rare departure from Santa Fe's ubiquitous Pueblo architecture. Construction was begun in 1869 by Santa Fe's first archbishop, Jean Baptiste Lamy (the inspiration behind Willa Cather's 1927 novel Death Comes for the Archbishop), working with French architects and Italian stonemasons. A small adobe chapel on the northeast side of the cathedral, the remnant of an earlier church, reflects the Hispanic architectural influence absent from the cathedral. The chapel's Nuestra Senora de la Paz (Our Lady of Peace), also known as La Conquistadora, is the oldest Madonna statue in the United States. Just south of the cathedral, where the parking lot meets Paseo de Peralta, is the Archives of the Archdiocese Museum, a small museum where many of the area's historic, liturgical artifacts are on view. Hours: Daily 8-5:45, except during mass. Mass celebrated Mon.-Sat. at 7 and 8:15 AM, 12:10 and 5:15 PM; Sun. at 6, 8, and 10 AM, noon, and 7 PM. Museum weekdays 9-4. Admission: FREE.

Its hand-carved stone reredos, taken from the older part of the Cathedral of St. Frances of Assisi, dates from 1761.

Santuario de Chimayo Neighborhood: Chimayo, New Mexico Address: Intersection of Hwys. 76 520, then south one mile Phone: (505) 351-4889 Somewhere around 1810, a Chimayo friar was performing penances when he saw a light bursting from a hillside. Digging, he found a crucifix, quickly dubbed the miraculous crucifix of Our Lord of Esquipulas. A local priest brought the crucifix to Santa Cruz, but three times it disappeared and was later found back in its hole. By the third time, everyone understood that El Senor de Esquipulas wanted to remain in Chimayo, and so a small chapel was built on the site. Then the miraculous healings began. These grew so numerous that the chapel had to be replaced by the larger, current Chimayo Shrine -- an adobe mission -- in 1816. El Santuario de Chimayo is now known (at least locally) as the Lourdes of America. The crucifix still resides on the chapel alter, but for some reason its curative powers have been overshadowed by El Posito, the sacred sand pit from which it sprang, which gapes unheavenly behind the main altar. Over 300,000 people visit the Santuario every year. Directions: From Santa Fe, North to Pojoaque, and then Northeast on route 503 through Nambe. Follow signs for 76.

Canyon Road Neighborhood: Eastside The early Spaniards felt drawn to the Canyon Road area by the Santa Fe River bottom, which offered irrigable land for their crops and pasturage for their flocks; by a centuries-old Pueblo Indian trail, which provided a convenient passageway for mule trains and ox-drawn carretas; and by the community¹s nearby main plaza and governmental offices, which offered protection from Indian attacks.

Loretto Chapel The history of the Loretto Chapel began when Bishop Jean Baptisite Lamy was appointed by the Church to the New Mexico Territory in1850. As part of his mission to build churches and educational facilities, Lamy asked the Sisters of Loretto (a teaching order) to leave their home in Kentucky and establish a school for girls in the frontier city of Santa Fe. It was decided that the school needed a chapel. Property was purchased and in 1873 work began on the Loretto Chapel. Undoubtedly influenced by the French clergy in Santa Fe, the Gothic Revival-style chapel was patterned after King Louis IX's Sainte-Chapelle in Paris; a striking contrast to the adobe churches already in the area. The Chapel was completed in 1878 and has since seen many additions and renovations such as the introduction of the Stations of the Cross, the Gothic altar and the frescos during the 1890s. The Miraculous Staircase, which legend says was constructed or inspired by St. Joseph the Carpenter, was built sometime between 1877 and 1881. It took at least six months to build, and has two 360 degree turns with no visible means of support. Loretto Chapel is now a private museum operated and maintained, in part, for the preservation of the Miraculous Staircase and the Chapel itself. Courtesy of www.lorettochapel.com
