Iglesia del Primer Monasterio de la Visitación de Santa María

Iglesia del Primer Monasterio de la Visitación de Santa María, Catholic church in Barrio Brasil, Santiago, Chile

The Iglesia del Primer Monasterio de la Visitación de Santa María is a Catholic church on Huérfanos Street in Barrio Brasil, Santiago. The convent's temple was dedicated on 8 December 1930 to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, blessed by Archbishop Rafael Edwards Salas. It suffered structural damage in the 2010 earthquake and was fully restored in 2012 with about 200 million pesos raised by Catholic donors.

The monastery was established in 1877 when a group of religious sisters arrived from Montevideo to found a new convent in Santiago. The complex subsequently evolved over the decades as a center for spiritual life in the city.

Each November the church hosts the Solemnity of Christ the King and the consecration of Chile to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In February 2006 it held the reliquary of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque for two weeks.

The church is situated in central Barrio Brasil near many other city attractions within walking distance. It sits on a well-served street with good public transportation connections and easy pedestrian access.

In February 2006 the church housed the reliquary of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque for two weeks, a rare loan that drew devotees to Huérfanos Street. The 2010 earthquake damaged the structure, and Catholic donors raised about 200 million Chilean pesos for repairs completed in 2012.
