Este templo formó parte del convento franciscano y su construcción concluyó en 1731 gracias a la devoción de Fray José de Arlegui. El templo es de una nave y bóveda, su fachada es sencilla y tiene una espadaña con campanas. Fue confiscado y vendido durante la Reforma a mediados del siglo XIX. En 1894 el canónigo Agustín Jiménez lo compró y el Obispo Montes de Oca lo dedicó al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Se le dotó de un nuevo altar neogótico en mármol de Carrara construido por los Hermanos Biagi, y los interiores fueron decorados por el pintor Jesús L. Sánchez.

La Orden Franciscana se estableció originalmente en la actual Plaza de Fundadores, en la Ermita de la Vera Cruz. Alrededor de 1591 comenzaron la construcción del Convento y Templo en este sitio. En 1686 reconstruyeron totalmente sus edificios, la ampliaciones del convento incluyeron la torre, el altar mayor, varias capillas. Para el siglo XVIII las obras estaban concluidas.

2. Our Lady of Remedies Temple / The Third Order Temple / San Francisco Temple Marker
This side of the marker includes the information on the San Francisco Temple.
The Third Order Temple
This temple was part of the Franciscan convent and was finished in 1698. The Third Order is a secular branch founded by Saint Francis of Assisi, composed of devoted people of both sexes who live a normal life but follow a life regimen like that of the Franciscans and who have their own temple.
San Francisco Temple
This is one of the most important temples in the city, both historically and artistically, since it was here that the Franciscans formed their civilized evangelizing advance throughout this region of New Spain.
The Franciscan Order was originally established in what is now the Plaza de Fundadores (Founders Square), in the Ermita de la Vera Cruz church. Around 1591 they began building the convent and temple on this site. In 1686 they rebuilt all of their buildings completely, with such enlargements to the convent as the tower, the greater altar, and various chapels. By the 18th century the works were concluded. With the Reform Laws, the convent went through alterations; Galeana Street was opened and buildings and land were expropriated, thus dismembering this magnificent religious set.
The temple, a Latin cross floor plan and vault, has a sumptuously ornamented façade worked in stone, as well as one of the most beautiful vestries of the region.
