María Dolores Moreno, a devotee of the Most Holy Christ of Mercy, donated all furnishings for the small Chapel of Calvary, including silver and other precious metal jewellery, liturgical objects, pews and altar linen, as detailed in an inventory in 1885.

Until 1901, this pious woman was responsible for all matters concerning the worship, restoration and adornment of the temple with alms collected from “other faithful devotees, thus increasing evermore, the devotion to the Most Holy Christ of Mercy, through zeal for the glory of God. However, having Our Lord decided to take her to a better life to fulfil the promises of joy for those who truly love Him, and not finding another person who matched each and all virtues the deceased devotee”, a group of faithful met to create a Confraternity that would take care of the liturgical needs, adornment, conservation and maintenance of the small temple of Calvary.
