This was a historic, first ever visit by a Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, not only to Argentina, but to Latin America in general.

The act of consecration was also attended by the governor of this province, Jorge Kapitanich, who facilitated significantly the construction of the Temple, for which he was awarded the Order of Saint Sava of the first degree, the highest decoration of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Bishop Kirilo awarded the Order of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul to the Embassy of Serbia in Buenos Aires as a benefactor of the Temple, which was received by the Chargé d'Affaires a.i. Dejan Blagojevic.

During his stay in Argentina, the Patriarch was solemnly welcomed in the monastery of St. Nicholas in Machagai, Chaco province, as well as in the monastery of St. Sava and the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Mother of God in Buenos Aires.
