The Saint Francis Cathedral, dedicated in 1886, is mixture of three architectural styles. Adobe, French - Romanesque, and Modern.
Adobe because connected to the main structure is the Conquistadora Chapel which was built in 1714 and houses La Conquistadora, Our Lady of Conquering Love, the country’s oldest Madonna (1625)
French -Romanesque because the main structure was commissioned by Archbishop Lamy, Santa Fe’s first archbishop who was from France and whose crypt lays within the cathedral, and Modern because of the 1967 addition of the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
The Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of Santa Fe. Franciscan Friars presently staff the Cathedral Parish.
The many stunning stained glass windows were imported from France. Stone for the building was imported from 15 miles away in what is now Lamy, New Mexico.

Saint Francis Cabrini

O DIVINE MASTER
grant the I may not so much
seek to be consoled, as to console
to be understood, as to understand
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving, that we receive
it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned
and it is in dying that we are born
to eternal life
— Saint Francis of Assisi
