Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro

Redemptorist basilica in central Santiago, home to the venerated icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help

In the heart of Santiago de Chile, this Redemptorist minor basilica is dedicated to the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The Redemptorists, renowned for popular missions and Marian devotion, established the church as a spiritual center in the Chilean capital. Its architecture reflects European ecclesiastical traditions adapted to South American conditions. The interior invites quiet reflection, with the titular Marian icon as its central devotional image. Today the basilica serves as an active parish and pilgrimage site for devotees of Mary from across Chile.
