The Chaplain of "El Socorrito" Temple, José Tranquilino Anaya, wholeheartedly and selflessly supported by a "Pro-reconstruction" Committee and all the neighbors, rebuilt the Temple and annexes, starting on January 8, 1993.
These works being concluded today, they are worthy to be blessed by our Bishop Jesús Humberto Velázquez Garay and the Rector of the Seminary, Bishop Juan José Pérez Parra, who also supported this reconstruction.
