St. Patrick's Church


Today we visited St. Patrick's Church in Mercedes. We've visited many churches on our trip but this visit was different because we were given the opportunity to see the workings of a 100 year old pipe organ, climb inside the bell tower and see the mechanisms behind a giant clock on the facade of the church! We also had the pleasure of hearing some Beethoven played on the piano by one of the priests! It was a very fun visit and one I will remember for a while.

100 year old pipe organ and the largest in South America.


The gigantic bells that ring out over the town of Mercedes.
