San Miguel Petapa

[4] But this plan never materialized, mainly because the Spanish crown lost control of the regular orders as soon as their friars set course to America.Shielded by their apostolic privileges granted to convert natives into Catholicism, the missionaries only responded to their order local authorities, and never to that of the Spanish government or the secular bishops.The doctrines were founded at the friars discretion, given that they were completely at liberty to settle communities provided the main purpose was to eventually transfer it as a secular parish which would be tithing of the bishop.[8] The Amatitlán Department was abolished by decree 2081 of 29 April 1935 of president general Jorge Ubico regime.San Miguel Petapa also has two main traditional holidays, one of which is celebrated in February and is appointed to Our Lady of the Rosary.
