La Capilla de San Cristobal

This is la capilla de San Cristobal in San Cristobal, San Luis Potosi. In the old days the building was used to store grain a "granera." Orozco family members who live there and others from Cerritos, restored and cleaned the building and turned it into a chapel. Mass is celebrated about once a month. It is also used for quienceneras and weddings. The Feast of San Cristobal is celebrated in a big way. The next project planned is a gazebo and placita in front of the chapel. We hope to raise some funds at the reuion to assist with this. The road leading to San Cristobal has been greatly improved. It is still full of pot holes but is very passable due to the improvements made through the Orozcos in Cerritos. San Cristobal is about a forty five minute drive north of Cerritos due to the road condition. The people there have a system in place to buy their supplies. The arrangement is that whoever has plans to go into town takes orders and does the shopping.
