Iglesia San Miguel

Iglesia San Miguel, Catholic church in Zona Sur, La Paz, Bolivia

The Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel is a Catholic church on Avenida Ballivián at Plaza San Miguel, Calle 21, in the Calacoto area of La Paz's Zona Sur. Its architectural conception, structural design and construction were carried out by the Bolivian engineer Mario Galindo Rojas. The temple was begun in 1963 and completed in 1967.

The parish began in 1959, when the first Resurrectionist priests arrived at the request of La Paz bishop Mons. Abel Antezana. Construction of the temple started in 1963 and finished in 1967, when Archbishop Mons. Jorge Manrique consecrated it as San Miguel Arcángel. The engineer Mario Galindo Rojas designed the structure, and the priest Jaime led the building work.

The parish was run from 1959 by the Resurrectionist Fathers, who came at the request of Bishop Abel Antezana. Father Walter and the Sisters of Notre Dame opened the area's first schools, which still operate. Father Jaime shaped the parish around the founder's idea of making it a true family rather than just an institution.
