Parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Piedad of Temperley is a Catholic church located in the city of Temperley, south part of Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina.[1]

History

[edit]

The Parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Piedad was established on June 26, 1931, by initiative of the monsignor Francisco Alberti, being its first priest Félix Dutari Rodríguez.[2] The parish is located in the "barrio inglés" of Temperley,[3] a neighborhood of typical English architecture, who was populated towards the end of the 19th century by settlers of British origin,[4] and also by Irish Catholics, whose descendants were faithful of the parish.[5]
