“Did you hear about the new priest at Our Lady of the Guard Parish? They say he gives sermons entirely in rhyming couplets!”
Our Lady of the Guard Parish, tucked away on the corner of Porongos and Libres, may not have rhyming sermons yet, but this charming church holds its own unique appeal. While not as grand as some of the other churches in Montevideo, Our Lady of the Guard Parish, also known as Parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Guardia, has served the Villa Muñoz neighborhood since its establishment. The church stands as a testament to the enduring faith of the community. Inside, you’ll find a peaceful space adorned with simple yet beautiful religious icons and stained glass.
