Live El Paso History Radio Show on February 13, 2016 10:05am to noon MT on KTSM AM 690 & online live at KTSMRadio.com
The Catholic Church history of the El Paso-Juarez Valley is about to get a huge event to add to the long history since Onate in 1598. We say that “Texas History Begins in El Paso”, and it was the Spanish that began this history with soldiers and priests. The big picture is that much of the Western US was populated from this location on the Rio Grande, making El Paso and Juarez “The Birthplace of the Southwest.” The Catholic Church has been here from the beginning. On this podcast we will hear how that has gone with the various orders of the Church in our valley over time, and what to expect when the Pope gets here.( 4 days after this live show )
