Seven Cities of Greed
 This
year celebrates not only the four hundredth
anniversary of Santa Fe, New Mexico it also
commemorates four hundred years of worship at St.
Francis Cathedral. The original building is gone,
but the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi,
the passion of Bishop John Baptiste Lamy, was built
around its adobe walls.
Sixty years before the
founding of Santa Fe, the first Franciscan priest to
come to the area was Father Marcos de Niza when he
searched for the cities of gold. Seven Cities of
Greed follows the path of Friar Marcos, as
traveled by a group of Chicagoans in search of
adventure.
