Nice church with an awesome nightmarket in front of it during the weekends

The church is nice looking, but not too interesting. There are always many guatemalans around there. In front of the church, there is a nightmarket with good food during the weekends.

I did not ask a question about an attraction, I asked a question about my religion. Could you please forward my desperate letter to your Monseigneur? How can I connect the highest priest who speaks English?

Answer

Then you're looking for that answer in the wrong place, this page is to review attractions. But I think if you want to contact him, you should go, or send someone to the church, i'm sure they can give you a better answer
