Originally the church used English for sermons the Paaaans have requested that they use Spanish as the teaching language.

There is only one word to discribe - "Wow!" Read about it before you go, at least a little, because when you see it , it's just "Wow!"

This church is beautiful with splendorous colours and if the walls could talk, they'll be telling us wonderful stories. It is a must see church while visiting Panama. A guided tour its a must.
