A bit of Spanish Mission History;
Mission San Agustin de Isleta, located in Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico, is a historic Spanish mission founded in 1613. Built by Franciscan missionaries, its purpose was to convert the indigenous Tiwa people to Christianity. The mission has a long and complex history, surviving the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, where it was destroyed and later rebuilt. The current church structure, dedicated to San Agustin, likely incorporates parts of the original foundation and walls, making it potentially the oldest functioning church in North America.
Today, Mission San Agustin de Isleta remains an active place of worship for the Isleta Pueblo community and stands as a testament to the enduring cultural heritage of the Tiwa people. Its unique blend of architectural styles and historical significance make it a popular destination for visitors interested in learning about the history of the Southwest and the interactions between Native Americans and Spanish colonizers.
