La Misión de Corpus Christi de San Antonio de la Ysleta del Sur, was established by Spaniards, Antonio de Otermin and Fray Francisco de Ayeta in 1680. It owes its heritage to Pueblo traditions, Franciscan Missionaries and Spanish Colonial life in Northern New Mexico. This and the other two missions established here after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 are children of the pain of intolerance between cultures and forced emigration.
Though in the present State of Texas, this mission’s life and identity is knitted integrally to the Missions of the New Kingdom of St. Francis – present day New Mexico.
