Inmaculado Corazón de María (San Pancracio), Montevideo — The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Spanish: Iglesia del Inmaculado Corazón de María), popularly known as San Pancracio (Spanish for "Saint Pancras") is a Roman Catholic parish church in Villa Muñoz, Montevideo, Uruguay.[1]

Held by the Claretians, it is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and also to Saint Pancras, patron saint of work and health.[2] For this reason, this church has turned into a pilgrimage destination, with people attending the 12th day, every month of the year.[3]

The parish was established on 30 January 1919.[1]
