2025 ENDANGERED LATINX LANDMARKS 

San Felipe de Neri Carriage House in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a deteriorating adobe structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It tells the story of Sister Blandina, a 19th-century Latina advocate who supported marginalized Hispanic and Native communities, building schools, hospitals, and public spaces. The Archdiocese of Santa Fe and San Felipe de Neri, with local youth and volunteers, are leading preservation and adaptive reuse efforts to transform the site into a living museum. Urgent action is needed to stabilize and restore this landmark, preserving a key site of Latinx heritage and historical memory in the United States.

"I have spent my entire life involved with the historic San Felipe de Neri Church on the Plaza in Old Town, Albuquerque. One of my fondest childhood memories was riding a donkey during Las Posadas. The Carriage House is being restored as a living museum for Sister Blandin."

— Pearl Rael, Chairman, Parish Pastoral Council, San Felipe de Neri Parish
