This is the altar of the Church of Our Lady of Mercies in Cuchilla, a community of Curarén.

This church is not very large, so when the people come for services, many find themselves standing.  On the day I was there, I had 15 baptisms in the Mass.  So, when I invited the godparents, parents and children to be baptized to come forward, you can imagine what an amazing experience that was.  The American phrase, “packed like sardines,” had new meaning for me! 

Though this little church is quite humble, it is filled with a community whose spirit is great!
