1919 they attempt again, but again did not accomplish much. In 1956 a third attempt was

Subsequently a metal tower was installed, which was later destroyed by lightning.
Finally, in 2003 with contributions from the settlers, City Hall, and especially from the
diocese, a tower was built. And with that they were able to put an end to the saying “they
will make it, they will make it”, since the tower was finally done.
In 1919, the marquis of Murga gives a gift to Vía Crucis and free lighting was put
in the church by a transformer semidetached from a wall. This benefit lasted until 1952.
In 1924, as a great event, the bell that was in a theatre was transferred over to the church.
In 1924 a small belfry was built for the small bells. Since the fall of the tower up to this
year only a small hand bell was rung, which is presently in the new bell tower. The
belfry mentioned above was knocked down in order to build the present tower. This
same year, according to what is evident in the church books, banks were built for the
men.
