Although it can be seen from a main road, this rustic church with its small village feel is often overlooked. On the altar in the chancel sits a statue of the Mother Mary made by a Oura Village local. Her depiction is different from that of western Mother Mary statues, featuring a plump face. Decorative roses are placed at her feet in offering.


<Note>
Churches are very important places of prayer for their followers. When observing churches, please follow proper etiquette such that everyone can feel comfortable in the churches. A guide for church etiquette can be found here.
