St. Cajetan's Church was the cultural and spiritual center of the Westside neighborhood — a gathering place for worship, celebrations, education, and community life. This stop draws on memories from displaced residents James Mark Tafoya and Frances Torres and displaced descendant Katelyn Puga. Their stories bring St. Cajetan's back to life as a site for music, marriage, and communion.
