Class One:
One of our classes has decided to describe our church which is really beautiful and  one of the oldest buildings here.   It is called San Antonio de Padua,  like our town. Our town is called San Antonio de Padua because in the year 1727 Francisco de Merlo built a little chapel which he named after this Saint.  Many families started to build their houses around it, so the place was called San Antonio de Padua as well as the church which was built in
the year 1931.  You'll learn a lot more about it.

We visited the church of San Antonio de Padua  and this is what we have to share with you.
