baptisms date to 1905, Masses were originally celebrated
in pastures, homes, public buildings, or churches of other
denominations until the first building for Our Lady of
Guadalupe Church was constructed in the city’s barrio in
1925. Later a larger building was purchased and renovated, with the current church building hosting its first
Mass on May 13, 1962.

El año 2025 marca el 60º aniversario de la Declaración
del Concilio Vaticano II sobre la Libertad Religiosa, Dignitatis Humanae. Este documento histórico enseña que la libertad religiosa no es simplemente un derecho creado por el
gobierno, sino más bien un derecho humano fundamental
que proviene de Dios. La libertad religiosa tiene sus raíces
en la libertad de conciencia. La Iglesia Católica enseña que
la conciencia es la voz de Dios en el corazón humano, por
lo que la desobediencia a la conciencia es desobediencia a
Dios.
