Catholic Societies

La Sociedad de San Jose de Galisteo

Serving the local parish of Nuestra Senora de Los Remedios is La Sociedad de San Jose de Galisteo, a Catholic men’s fraternal society established in January 1895. Around 1900, La Sociedad built the meeting/dance hall La Sala de San José de Galisteo in Territorial style, using mud adobe and a unique foundation of local basalt stone. La Sala was used for meetings, social gatherings, fiesta and wedding dances, first communion and funeral receptions, and other functions. La Sociedad owns and maintains the historic structure, which is currently housing Duende Gallery. For more information, contact Robert Anaya, RAA2010@aol.com, 505-470-8993

Sociedad de El Sagrado Corazon de Jesus 

The Sociedad de El Sagrado Corazon de Jesus is Galisteo’s Catholic women’s society. It was founded by Tomas and Julianita Peña to promote the Catholic religion, provide upkeep of the Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios Church, and offer support for members and their families during times of illness and when a member passes away. The society’s members include women from many small towns and cities in the area and even a few from out of state. Dues are collected every year, and fund raisers such as bake sales and silent auctions help to fund the activities. The society also started a scholarship to promote and encourage young students to go to college. The members hold their annual meeting at the Galisteo Community Center and a mass for the Society is held at the Church. For more information ,contact Patricia Chavez at (505) 466-0905.
