St. John’s, as it appears today, was built during the Great Depression (1932). The beauty and grandeur of the structure with all its stained-glass windows, wooden carvings, and embellished stone give all honor and glory to God.

The main entrance on Nueva Street has two shields. The left one has a cross and the right one an anchor. Above and at the side of each shield there is a heart. Examining the entrance more closely you find a series of other symbols, which should remind us of the works of the Church. She should clothe the naked (cloak), feed the hungry (loaf of bread with knife), teach the ignorant (open book), free the captives of sin (broken shackles), cheer the sick (basket of flowers and fruit), and seek the lost (Lamb of thorns).
