Scene Description: Source caption: "El bautisterio del templo parroquial de Santa Catarina estaba situado a la izquierda de la entrada principal.[...] En ésta fotografía correspondiente a la década de 1910, vemos al padre Fidencio Bustamante bautizando a un niño del matrimonio de Jesús Macías y Paulita Guerra.[...] Recientemente cambiaron la pila bautismal, la antigua la iban a destruir al parecer y la nueva sinceramente como que no va con la historia y arquitectura del templo."
