From jesuitas.ec: "La “Parroquia La Merced” de Manta, perteneciente a la actual Arquidiócesis de Portoviejo para Manabí, fue confiada a la Misión Jesuita en enero de 1923.
Nuestra “misión” ha sido servir a la evangelización integral, en la fe y la justicia con la Celebración Eucarística, predicación, catequesis, sacramentos, campamentos juveniles, ejercicios, cursos bautismales y prematrimoniales… Tambien, con la atención a enfermos, servicio en el ámbito de la extensísima Parroquia."

Google Translation:
"The “La Merced Parish” of Manta, belonging to the current Archdiocese of Portoviejo for Manabí, was entrusted to the Jesuit Mission in January 1923.
Our "mission" has been to serve integral evangelization, in faith and justice with the Eucharistic Celebration, preaching, catechesis, sacraments, youth camps, exercises, baptismal and premarital courses ... also, with the care of the sick, service in the area of the vast Parish."
Surmounted by a large white cross, the high campanile, which seems disproportionate in relation to the small church, is located to its right. I did not find any information neither for the campanile nor for the church.
