The church’s history isn’t etched in ancient stone. It’s woven into the fabric of everyday life. Father Rubens Alonge Ramos took up his post as pastor in February 2014. He leads the congregation at masses held throughout the week. Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm Fridays at 7 pm. Saturdays at 6 pm and Sundays at 8 am and 6 pm. Confessions are held an hour before and after each mass.
