Church of St. Francis Xavier

The Church of St. Francis Xavier is a stone building that clearly displays European design. With all this, the locals remained true to their traditions – instead of the usual benches, which, as a rule, stand in Catholic churches, national mats are used for sitting.

Especially striking are the unique frescoes with which the church is painted. These beautiful paintings were commissioned by missionary Franz Mathias Wozner, who was once the chaplain of the famous Austrian Trapp family. The frescoes were painted at his request by the famous Mexican artist Jean Charlot. He was assisted by his wife and son Martin. Paintings appeared in the church around October 1962 and January 1963.
