The Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. Eugene (Spanish: Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro y San Eugenio), popularly known as Iglesia de la Cruz de Carrasco[1] (due to its location at an important crossing in Las Canteras, north-east of Carrasco) is a Roman Catholic parish church in Montevideo, Uruguay.[2]
There was a small chapel around 1943.[1] The present temple was built in a modern sort of Neo-Byzantine style, roughly resembling Haghia Sophia; designed by the architect Horacio Terra Arocena, it was consecrated in 1951.[1] It is dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and saint Eugene.
The parish was established on 31 December 1949.[2]
