San José Obrero Church - San José (Coronel Suárez)

The first wooden church building in San José was constructed in 1888.

The current parish church in San José is called Iglesia San José Obrero (Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church). It was the brainchild of Father John Beckert. It was built under the direction of Father Juan Scharle. The cornerstone was laid on 18 September 1927 and dedication held on 7 May 1930. All construction was funded by the settlers themselves. Its twin towers are 50 meters tall with a 5-meter tall cross atop each one.
