The Catholic family of churches has played an enduring role in American faith. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest single Christian denomination in the United States, in full communion with the Bishop of Rome. Catholic parishes celebrate the Mass and the seven sacraments. The tradition traces its modern form to 1st century. Today there are roughly ~70 million in the U.S. of this tradition.

It joins a long tradition of Christian witness across the West, where Spanish missions, Asian-American congregations, and modern megachurches all share the landscape. El Rancho sits within New Mexico, whose state capital is Santa Fe. The church reflects the broader presence of the Catholic community across New Mexico.
