Robbie Kelly and Santiago Vigil at San Rafael Church in La Cueva

Mud plastering at San Rafael was completed on Friday July 12. Robbie Kelly and Santiago Vigil (pictured) were on hand throughout with many other volunteers participating. Members of the Grants office of the Catholic Foundation joined us for a great day of mudding on July 21. A special thank you to Florence Gurule, Gwen Moore, Gina Pacheco (and her daughter) for the delicious food they provided for the workers on this project. Thanks to Joe Gurule for getting the material for us and mowing around the church. Hats off to Don for leading an excellent workshop ending with a beautiful job well done. On Saturday July 20 the window repair project will start. Stephen Calles will lead the training with Robbie and Santiago learning that side of preservation maintenance. The ongoing work schedule will be set on July 20. Please check our website (www.cstones.org) or contact Cornerstones (505-982-8521) if you are interested in helping.

Volunteers at San Rafael Church, La Cueva

Volunteers making adobe bricks at the Greer Garson stable in Pecos National Historical Park.

Our project to restore a portion of Greer Garson’s stable at Pecos National Historical Park through our partnership with the Park Service mobilized on June 7. Our schedule is 2 days a week, Thursdays and Fridays. Volunteers who made bricks in Santa Fe during National Historic Preservation (May 2019) followed some of those bricks to the Pecos job and have joined the effort. Once the foundation work is completed, we will start rebuilding the deteriorated adobe walls. The work project days at Pecos will continue until the work is completed. Volunteers are welcome. Please check our website (www.cstones.org) or contact Cornerstones (505-982-8521) if you are interested in helping.
