John F. Ortiz

ORTIZ, John F., clergyman, born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1798; died there, 20 January, 1858. He studied in the College of Durango, was ordained in 1822, appointed pastor of San Juan de los Caballeros in 1823, and transferred to Santa Fe in 1825. In 1829 he was named "Cura Propio de Santa Fe," and in 1832 he was appointed administrator of New Mexico. When Bishop Lamy was chosen to take his place in 1850, the prejudice against citizens of the United States was very strong in New Mexico, and, but for the devotion of Father Ortiz, the new vicar-apostolic would have been in great difficulties. He received Dr. Lamy with respect, placed his house at his disposal, and accompanied him in all his journeys. Father Ortiz remained pastor of Santa Fe till 1853.
