COLORADO’S OLDEST CHURCH: Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Church. The oldest Parish in Colorado built in 1857. Located in Antonito. Joseph Machebeuf (1812-1889), spread Roman Catholicism throughout Colorado. A French missionary, he was sent to Colorado from Santa Fe by Archbishop Jean Lamy. He said first Mass in Colorado in a crude adobe chapel in Conejos in 1858. It was later replaced by Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, Colorado’s oldest church.
