Sagrada Familia de Lemitar Church, Los Dulces Nombres (Lemitar Church) is a historic church off Interstate 25 in Lemitar, New Mexico. It was constructed in the early 1830s and has been renovated and added to several times thereafter.[2] Work in around 1900 gave the adobe building a pitched, metal roof and clear glass windows; in 1950 Conrad Hilton made a donation which, with funds raised by parishioners, paid for stained glass windows and wooden flooring. The present facade and bell towers were added in 1963.[2] Unfortunately in 2010 the west wall of the church collapsed during renovations started the previous year; the building was deemed irreparable and was totally rebuilt.[2][3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
