The first church was consecrated in 1923, although the current temple was built two decades later. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and held by the Salesians of Don Bosco, who also run the adjacent private school "San Francisco de Sales".[3] Both the church and the school are known as "Maturana", since this is the name of a nearby street where they were originally located in 1907.[1]
