In collaboration with Father Adrian Sisneros, the mayordomos, and parishioners, NUEVO MEXICO PROFUNDO has commissioned an altar for the historic church in Golden. The church was originally built around 1830 and was redesigned and rebuilt about sixty years ago by Fray Angélico Chávez. A photo taken during the rebuilding is below. In 2024 PROFUNDO collaborated with the parish on the restoration of the church.
Two preliminary altar sketches by santero Nicolas Otero are also below; we will add other images as the project progresses. Some of Otero's work is here; an article is here.
This $20,000 project was made possible by an anonymous donation and by additional support from the Robert L. Clarke Family Foundation, the Parker-Kuntz Fund at the Santa Fe Community Foundation, Elizabeth Glassman, Sallie Bingham, Kathyrn Bard, James Higdon, Susan Howard and Vince Pigott, Katherine Carpenter, Laura Smith, Marie Noelle Meyer, Melissa Eason, Cheryl Nace, Richard Bentley, Tobin Clark, Timothy Mitchell, Michael Cannon, Robyn Hoffman, John Benigno, and Janet Desforges, in honor of Sana Morrow.
