inner light apache church

St. Joseph Apache Mission in Mescalero New Mexico was inspired by Father Albert Braun and built by Mescalero Apaches. "All material used is native to the locality. In the winter stone was quarried about four miles west of the Mission in Bent, NM. The stones were then hauled to the building site in the spring. The lime for the mortar was burned in pits near the Mission. The stones were laid during the summer and fall. The timber for the ceiling and roof were purchased from a local sawmill. The tiles for the roof and floor came from the old La Luz Pottery Plant in nearby La Luz, NM. The lighting fixtures were designed and made in Juarez, Mexico."
