history
The church was founded as a mission in 1834 by the Dominican missionary Félix Caballero . Caballero himself had to leave the mission in 1840 under attack from the local Indians. Winemaking was one of the mission's main activities.
In 1904 the region experienced an influx of Russian immigrants who had fled Russia because of their beliefs. Now they were given freedom of belief and acquired about 0.4 km² of land to grow grapes.
