In 1943 a replica of the image of Seor de los Milagros arrived in Buenos Aires. Three brothers traveled to Salta. Augusto Leonardo and Vigil Mahlknecht were tasked with creating the replica. This image found its home in the Parroquia Nuestra Seora de la Consolacin. It offered a spiritual home for Salta natives in Buenos Aires.
