In June 1884 Fr. John Marie Garnier purchased a lot in Lincoln and in turn deeded it to Archbishop Lamy. Construction on a new church was begun on November 22, 1886. The church was completed on June 24, 1887 and was dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. Thereafter, every San Juan's Day was celebrated with a special mass.
The San Juan Day festivities of 1906 were described in a Capitan newspaper: "…the most successful and devout celebration that has ever been held here. The church was filled. Everyone showed the greatest respect and adoration, which gained the admiration of all the non-Catholics who had come to watch."
San Juan Day will be celebrated on June 24th when Father Mike Williams will celebrate mass at noon. All are invited to attend this historic Lincoln tradition.
