Additional information:
The cholera and yellow fever outbreaks in Buenos Aires of 1867 to 1871 caused a great outflow of the population to the surrounding districts.
The railways were by then beginning to function out of Buenos Aires, the Western and Southern Railways giving people much greater freedom to live away from the disease-ridden city centre.
The result was the growth of San José de Flores to the west and Barracas and Lomas de Zamora to the south.
The St John's congregation decided to establish a mission church in Flores in 1879, Bishop Stirling appointing the Rev. Joseph H. Gybbon-Spilsbury as chaplain (1879-1886)
