La Recoleccion Church, Guatemala City, Catholic church in the historic centre, Guatemala City, Guatemala

La Recolección Church, also called the Parish of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, stands in the historic centre of Guatemala City in the neighbourhood that bears its name. It is one of the largest temples built in the New Guatemala of the Assumption after the city moved there in 1776. Construction, begun from plans drawn up in 1797, was not finished until 1848.

The Recollect friars moved their Colegio de Cristo Crucificado to the new city in 1776, after the Santa Marta earthquakes of 29 July 1773 wrecked their old house in Santiago de los Caballeros. Juan Fermín de Aycinena obtained lots 145 to 147 on 12 March 1776. Plans by Pedro Garci-Aguirre were rejected as too lavish in 1806, and work resumed in 1809 under Santiago Marquí. The friars were expelled in 1829 and returned after 1840; the temple was blessed on 21 January 1845 and finished in 1848.

The parish is called El Santísimo Nombre de Jesús, and its processional images, the late-18th-century Cristo de la Penitencia and the later Cristo Nazareno, still take part in Guatemala's modern Holy Week. The Franciscans (OFM) ran the church until 6 March 2016, when the Archdiocese of Santiago de Guatemala took charge.

The building is located in Zone 1 and is accessible by public transportation, with the main entrance directly facing the street for easy access. The site sits within the downtown pedestrian area, so visitors can approach from multiple directions on foot.

The church keeps baroque pieces brought from the old Colegio de Cristo Crucificado de Propaganda Fide in Santiago de los Caballeros, including the group of "Los Justos" (Saint Joachim, Saint Anne and the child Virgin Mary). Its processional images, the Cristo de la Penitencia (late 18th century) and the Cristo Nazareno (second half of the 19th century), still take part in Guatemala's Holy Week.
