Overview
San Ramon Nonato Church in Sabanilla, Costa Rica, has a documented connection with prayers for pregnant women and families. Its parish history begins with neighbours gathering around an image of the saint. A current programme continues to give maternity prayer a place in community worship.
Why this place is sacred
Raymond Nonnatus’s childbirth patronage belongs within that specific community history.
Experience and orientation
The church is in Sabanilla, Montes de Oca, Costa Rica.
Context and lineage
The parish remembers Josefa Ureña de Prado bringing neighbours together for the rosary and novena in the nineteenth century. Permission for a church followed in 1892, and the building was ready for its roof in 1895. Parish formation in 1985 and the temple’s consecration in 1998 were later milestones, not alternative dates for the same event.
Traditions and practice
The parish advertised a Eucharist for pregnant women and families in its 2026 celebrations. Consult current notices for the next service; a past event confirms the devotion without fixing a future timetable.
