San Isidro Catholic Church

This 19th century adobe church is dedicated to San Isidro, ploughman, patron saint of farmers and protector of crops. Christian tradition maintains that in order to allow San Isidro time for his daily prayers an angel plowed his fields. Agua Fria annually observes this fifteenth day of May as “His Day of Goodwill” to honor his role in this agricultural community along El Camino Real.

Marker is on Agua Fria Street (El Camino Real) (County Route 66) ½ mile east of Lopez Lane, on the right when traveling east.
