San Pedro Apostol de Monte Castro: Historia, fe y el cine del barrio

Did you know that the San Pedro Apóstol Parish was founded on the grounds of a hospital and even had its own movie theater? Discover the history of the church in Monte Castro. In this new installment of "The Church in My Neighborhood," Florencia Ramallo and Gaby invite us to explore the iconic San Pedro Apóstol Parish in Monte Castro. We speak with Father Juan Pedro, who tells us how this community, which is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary, originated in what was once an open-door hospital and grew alongside the neighborhood and its traditional school. Discover the details of its historic renovation, the beautiful stained-glass window of Our Lady of Luján, the mural dedicated to Pope Francis, and the charitable work of its lay members. We also fondly remember the legendary "Cine San Pedro," a meeting place that marked the childhood of many residents.
