Socorro Mission Trip

The Socorro Mission is said to be the oldest continuously functioning Catholic church in the United States. The present building has been in use since 1840, although the parrish was established in 1689. It is currently undergoing a huge renovation, but for the time being, it is open to anyone who wants to bask in its magnificence.

From the last rebuild. If your Spanish isn't up to par, it says "enero 1896", which means January 1896

The altar. Fairly spectacular for 150+ years old.

The loft, where the organ and choir would normally be.

I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

LMAO I always take the family if it isn't someplace dangerous. They seem to enjoy it, and its never too early to start a junior UE'r.
