Iglesia del Buen Pastor, Santiago de Chile

Iglesia del Buen Pastor, Santiago de Chile, Catholic church in Independencia district, Santiago, Chile.

Iglesia del Buen Pastor is a Catholic church located in the Independencia district of Santiago. The building displays a Latin cross layout with a neoclassical facade, four Ionic columns, and two pointed spire towers.

The Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd arrived in Chile in 1855; Archbishop Rafael Valentín Valdivieso secured government funds to bring the sisters from Angers, France. They settled first in San Felipe, then built a shelter in Santiago on land donated by Francisco Ruiz-Tagle and the Carmelite monastery of Carmen Bajo. Construction of the church and convent by Italian architect Eusebio Chelli began in 1862. The sisters left for Puente Alto in 1972, the same year the complex was declared a National Monument by Supreme Decree No. 1902 of 11 October 1972.

The Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd came from Angers, France, at the request of Archbishop Rafael Valentín Valdivieso, who obtained government funds to bring the nuns to Chile in 1855. They first settled in San Felipe, then opened a shelter in Santiago on land donated by Francisco Ruiz-Tagle and the Carmelite monastery of Carmen Bajo. Since 1982 the convent has housed Fundación Las Rosas, and the church was raised to a sanctuary of Mary Most Holy by Cardinal Juan Francisco Fresno.

The building is now used as headquarters for Fundación Las Rosas and remains open for religious services. Access is generally public, though checking opening hours before visiting is advisable.

The 2010 earthquake left structural cracks in the church; restoration began with the west tower, the presbytery and the interior ornamentation, and a second stage from 2012 repaired the central nave. The convent buildings passed to Carabineros de Chile before being donated to Fundación Las Rosas in 1982.
