Shrine to San Isidro
San Isidro Labrador was an 11th century Spanish farmer and rancher
of Madrid. He was a simple hired hand, but his holiness increased his
stature. His parents named him after another great Spanish patron, San
Isidoro. In English both names are translated St. Isidore.
The rural character of the South Valley makes San Isidro a great model.
We hope to imitate his simplicity and piety.
The shrine has become a main destination for our liturgical processions
throughout the year, especially Corpus Christi. We schedule regular visits
to this beautiful corner of our property for the children in our religious
education program. During the week parishioners visit and pray there.
Jaime & Anna Villegas underwrote and guided its construction.
“Chito,” an associate of
Jaime, knows the art of
building adobe walls.
The Shrine,
meticulously maintained.
