Catalogue Note
La Parroquia refers to the historic site of the present St. Francis Cathedral, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The small missionary church which originally stood on the site was destroyed during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. A larger adobe church, La Parroquia, was built on it after the Spanish regained their control of the area in 1692 and served the town for almost 200 years. Finally, in 1884 La Parroquia was replaced by the the St. Francis Cathedral of today. Father Jean Baptiste Lamy, a central character of Willa Cather's 1927 novel, Death Comes to the Archbishop, was reponsible for the building of the present edifice.
