Iglesia de la Boyera)
Good afternoon, from Caracas-Venezuela, have all my reader friends in this community. Walking through the south-east of the city of Caracas I have come across some Catholic churches that are worth being known by the international community through this wonderful communication platform. It is a pleasure and an honor for me, on this occasion, to give you some information accompanied by photos of the “La Anunciación del Señor” Parish.

The church is located in the “La Boyera” urbanization, Avenida 1 con Calle 4, in the state of Miranda, which is part of the Greater Caracas. It is not a large church, it only has a capacity for 300 seated faithful, although it is very popular, due, in part, to the fact that a place to bury the ashes has been annexed to it, where the relatives, of those who received a sacred burial there, go to pray for their souls.

The church was founded by Father Policarpo Krautle, of the Society of the Divine Savior, known as Salvatorians, and inaugurated in April 1984 by Cardinal José Alí Lebrún of Caracas.

The building is a modernist work that consists of a single nave with a gabled roof and on the left side there is a tower, it also has a basement where the parish office and a beautiful garden are located.

Some parishes in Greater Caracas have built spaces where the faithful can bury the ashes of their deceased loved ones. Initiative arose from the need for the Catholic congregation to bury their deceased after a document published by the Vatican indicated that it is not acceptable to have ashes in homes or spread them in natural spaces. Likewise, it urged to deposit them in sacred places such as cemeteries and parishes.

For this reason, when leaving the Church, a little higher, where a church garden used to be columbariums or niches called "Garden of Hope" has been built, with a modern and refined design.


Buenas tardes, desde Caracas-Venezuela, tengan todos mis amigos lectores de esta comunidad. Paseando por el sur-este de la ciudad de Caracas me he encontrado con algunas iglesias católicas que merecen la pena ser conocidas por la comunidad internacional a través de esta maravillosa plataforma comunicativa. Es para mí un placer y un honor, en esta oportunidad, entregarles alguna información acompañada de fotos de la Parroquia “La Anunciación del Señor”.

La iglesia está localizada en la urbanización La Boyera, avenida 1 con calle 4, en el Estado Miranda, que conforma parte de la Gran Caracas. No es una iglesia grande, solo tiene capacidad para 300 fieles sentados, aunque es muy visitada, debido, en parte, a que se le ha anexado un cenizario a donde los familiares, de los que allí recibieron sagrada sepultura, van a rezar por sus almas.

La iglesia fue fundada por el padre Policarpo Krautle, de la Sociedad del Divino Salvador, conocidos como salvatorianos, e inaugurada en abril de 1984 por el Cardenal de Caracas José Alí Lebrún.

La edificación es una obra modernista que consta de una sola nave con techo a dos aguas y en la parte izquierda se encuentra una torre, además posee un sótano donde está el despacho parroquial y un bello jardín.

Algunas parroquias de la Gran Caracas han construido espacios donde los fieles puedan enterrar las cenizas de sus seres queridos fallecidos. Iniciativa surgida por la necesidad que tiene la feligresía católica de darle sepultura a sus difuntos, luego que un documento publicado por el Vaticano indicara que no es aceptable tener las cenizas en las viviendas ni esparcirlas en espacios naturales. Asimismo, instaba a depositarlas en lugares sagrados como cementerios y parroquias.

Por ello, al salir de la Iglesia, un poco más arriba, donde antes se encontraba un jardín de la iglesia, ha sido construido un cenizario (columbarios o nichos) llamado “Jardín de la Esperanza”, con un moderno y refinado diseño.

Hello dear friends of Pinmapple, good morning from Venezuela. Thank you for placing my post on your map
Bricks and concrete - what an unusual decision for a church construction, dear @besamu! Although I'm not a fan of modern religious buildings, I admit that they always manage to surprise me... with creativity. Especially in exterior design. Just like here, in the design of this unusual "small" church (in my opinion, it isn't small at all 😊) in La Boyera.
A great find!
Hello dear Soulsdetouer. In Venezuela, as in almost all of Latin America, most of the churches are colonial in style with two or three naves and gigantic bell towers. However, in recent years Catholic churches have been built outside the colonial pattern, modern architecture with a different aesthetic. For church seating patterns, I think this is a small, maybe not so small, church. Receive my thanks for your comments and my wishes for a happy Sunday.
