The 1985 Santiago earthquake provoked extensive damage to the church . It struck , in fact , during mass , and , while all escaped the church safely , the church tower fell . Nine months after the earthquake , on December 3 , 1985 , restoration work commenced . Almost a year to the day later , on December 6 , 1986 , the church was rededicated in a celebration of the Eucharist , presided over by Cardinal Juan Francisco Fresno , then Archbishop of Santiago . In 1987 , the parish set about restoring the office , meetings rooms , and soup kitchen . The 2010 Chile earthquake also rendered extensive damage to the church . For several weeks , the parish worshiped outdoors . Eventually , sufficient funds were raised to repair the interior of the church . The parish soup kitchen remains , needing significant structural reinforcement
