The Old San Ysidro Church

I recently attended an event here. Everyday I wake up and discover there are wonderful places and experiences in my little neck of the woods that I had no idea existed. The Old San Isidro Church in Corrales, NM is one of those unique 'hidden' places. It really isn't hidden if you open your eyes and pay attention. The Old San Ysidro Church is a beautiful window into the history of rural New Mexico. Come visit. Attend one of the free (yes, FREE!) Speaker Series during 2025 at the Old Church managed by the Corrales Historical Society. Soak in the history just by being in this wonderful old church building.

Located right across the street from Casa San Ysidro, the Old San Ysidro Church in Corrales is an 1868 building recognized on both the New Mexico Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places. It is open for "tours" - docents are available to point out features and answer questions (even when there are no current displays). And it is rentable for private events (suitable for a church setting). It is an absolutely beautiful setting for a wedding and can seat 150.Throughout the year there are art shows and monthly speakers - all free to attend.There is also a small "gift shop": the docents run a table with books, cards, and items baring San Ysidro and the scene of his miracle - an angel ploughing his farm land for him.
