History

The parish of Ramallo was inaugurated on February 18, 1878, being appointed to the post of Vicar priest Domingo Tomatis, of the order of the Salesians. [2] Originally this church was erected to house the rural community of the area, being also the church of the Irish Catholics, who had settled in the northern towns of the province of Buenos Aires since 1840. [3]

The current construction of the church began in 1902, and was completed in 1929. [4] Among his priests who served in the parish are Tomás Canavery, who served as vicar general between 1881 and 1892, [5] and Edmund Flannery (born in 1840 in Cork, Ireland), priest who was entrusted to attend the Irish community of the parish.

Yellow fever in Buenos Aires Series of yellow fever epidemics in 1852, 1858, 1870, and 1871

The Yellow Fever in Buenos Aires was a series of epidemics that took place in 1852, 1858, 1870 and 1871, the latter being a disaster that killed about 8% of Porteños: in a city where the daily death rate was less than 20, there were days that killed more than 500 people. The Yellow Fever would have come from Asunción, Paraguay, brought by Argentine soldiers returning from the war just fought in that country, having previously spread in the city of Corrientes. As its worst, Buenos Aires population was reduced to a third because of the exodus of those escaping the scourge.
