records clearly show that the
instruction, shipment, and construction of the church were a coordinated effort
of Grecia's population, the Catholic Church, the Costa Rican government, and
Alejo E. Jiménez Bonnefil (1858-1922), a Costa Rican coffee producer and
exporter who was in charge of commanding and importing the church from the
manufacturer Ateliers de la Société de
Couvillet in Belgium, in the late 19th Century
