San ysidro
San Ysidro is the patron saint of our parish. San Ysidro was born in Madrid, Spain in 1070. He is the patron saint of farmers, the city of Madrid, and the Village of Corrales. He was a hired hand who had an extraordinary ability to pray directly to God who was so pleased that He sent an angel to San Ysidro's field, to do his work, freeing him to pray even more. He is said to have performed many miracles during his life and despite his own poverty, shared what little he had with the poor. He died on May 15, 1130 and was canonized in 1622. He was married to Maria Torribia, also honored as a saint under the name of Santa Maria de la Cabeza. Our parish fiesta is held every year on a weekend close to his May 15th feast day!

Our History
The first Catholic Church in Corrales was a mission built around 1750 near the Rio Grande River and was dedicated to the Holy Family. Priests from Sandia Pueblo would come to the mission to celebrate Mass and the Sacraments, up until 1857 when priests from Our Lady of Sorrows begin to minister. Unforunately, this church was washed away in a flood in 1868. In 1869, the parishioners came together to build another mission, now known as the "Old Historic Church." The mission was dedicated to San Ysidro, the patron saint of farmers, which has continued to this day.
Our current church on Corrales Road was built in 1961-1962 by dedicated volunteers. It became an active parish serving the Village of Corrales in 1966. The church has since been remodeled and had major renovations including: adding transepts, a narthex, and a gathering space.

ST. ISIDORE THE FARMER
Almight God and Father of all,
www.portraitsofsaints.com Original art by Tracy L Christianson
You give to man the opportunity to harvest
the good things of Your creation
and to build up Your Kingdom.
By the prayers and holy example of St. Isidore,
inspire us to be diligent in our laboring and to have trustful hearts that rely totally on Your loving providence.
Help us to create for creation and use it
for its highest good; to bring true charity to those
around us. Through the intercession of
Your faithful servant St. Isidore, help all who sow
and reap to abound in rich harvests. May all who
work the land be treated fairly and be allowed to
share in the fruits of their labor. We ask this
through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and
reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen
