Mi visita fue durante horas de la mañana, sus puertas estaban abiertas y justo estaban en la hora santa, varias personas se encontraban arrodilladas y en oración, se sentía una paz qué no tenía explicación, sin duda Dios se sentía por todo el lugar, inmediatamente comencé mi recorrido por su interior, en un primer niño se encontraba una hermosa pila bautismal con detalles en mármol y una superficie de madera como parte de una ofrenda amor y sobre ella un cuadro en homenaje al Monseñor Miguel A. Mejia.

My visit was during the morning hours, its doors were open and they were just in the holy hour, several people were kneeling and praying, I felt a peace that had no explanation, no doubt God was felt throughout the place, I immediately began my tour inside, in a first child was a beautiful baptismal font with details in marble and a wooden surface as part of a love offering and on it a painting in honor of Monsignor Miguel A. Mejia.

Seguía recorriendo y viendo el arte en los mosaicos en cada uno de sus enormes ventanales, a los lados de cada uno se encontraban cuadros con las estaciones del vía crucis, las paredes parecían compuestas de ladrillos y detalles en las bases compuestas por pequeños ángeles que sostienen parte de la estructura de los arcos que van directo al techo.

I continued walking around and seeing the art in the mosaics in each of its huge windows, on the sides of each one there were pictures with the stations of the cross, the walls seemed to be composed of bricks and details in the bases composed of small angels that support part of the structure of the arches that go directly to the ceiling.

Los detalles que más me llamaron la atención es la simulación de una pared de rocas donde se encuentra la Virgen María en su interior, su altar con dos enormes cuadros de Jesús de Misericordia y la Rosa Mística y en su centro una estructura bastante alta hecha con detalles en maderas qué alberga en uno de sus nichos a San Juan Bautista, sobre esta una enorme cruz con Jesús crucificado, los candelabros llenos de luz y rosetones en sus paredes estaban presentes.

The details that most caught my attention is the simulation of a rock wall where the Virgin Mary is inside, its altar with two huge pictures of Jesus of Mercy and the Mystical Rose and in its center a fairly high structure made with details in wood which houses in one of its niches to San Juan Bautista, on this a huge cross with Jesus crucified, the chandeliers full of light and rosettes on the walls were present.

Cerca del altar se encuentra sepultado el Monseñor Eberto Godoy quién fue párroco por casi 50 años de esta iglesia, otras imágenes se encontraban en esta ala como la Santísima Trinidad, San Benito, Jesús Nazareno y Jesús en su sepultura dentro de un cofre de madera con vidrieras, las personas se acercaban para tocarlas y persignarse ante ellos.

Near the altar is buried Monsignor Eberto Godoy who was pastor for almost 50 years of this church, other images were in this wing as the Holy Trinity, San Benito, Jesus Nazarene and Jesus in his grave in a wooden chest with stained glass windows, people approached to touch them and make the sign of the cross before them.
