The first Spanish-speaking church in Manhattan, located on West 14th Street and built a century ago, has been deconsecrated with an uncertain future. This marks yet another loss for Little Spain, leaving the question whether Our Lady of Guadalupe would be next.

Title: The Disappearance of Little Spain: What's Next for Our Lady of Guadalupe?

The future of this historic church is uncertain, and it's yet another reminder of the erasure of the Spanish identity in New York City. But what's next? Will the beloved icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe be the next to go? The answer is uncertain, but the signs are troubling. Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico, has served as a beacon of hope and faith for generations of Spanish-speaking immigrants in New York City.

Our Lady of Guadalupe and the church on West 14th Street are not just buildings but symbols of a time and place when Spanish culture thrived in Manhattan. We owe it to the generations that came before us and to the generations that will come after us to preserve these symbols of our city's history and diversity. As New Yorkers, we pride ourselves on our diversity and inclusivity. It's time to put those values into action and fight for the preservation of Little Spain and all that it represents. The disappearance of Little Spain is a wake-up call, and we must act now before it's too late. Let's come together and show our support for the preservation of Little Spain and Our Lady of Guadalupe. We cannot allow our city's rich history and diversity to be erased. It's time to take a stand and fight for what we believe in. The church on West 14th Street, the first in Manhattan created for a Spanish-speaking congregation a century ago, has been deconsecrated. Its future is uncertain.
