The second in home Biason family and the third in Antônio Franceschet house on 23 January 1879. On that date, Franceschet She had the idea to raise an oratory with the help of neighbor Pasqual Pasa.

They have never seen in Italy a priest celebrating Mass outside of the array. The two heads of families started building a secret church. They tore down a pine tree, prepared the material and built a capital of 12 square meters with porch at the entrance, which was located in front of the current cemetery of Caravaggio. The news spread quickly and gained donations in cash and hand labor, turning the oratory in chapel that held about 100 people.

It was at this time that Christmas Faoro offered to loan a small picture with the image of Our Lady of Caravaggio, who had brought among their belongings from Italy. The loan would last until the acquisition of an image. The proposal was accepted and the small frame has become part of the place of honor of the chapel, on a little altar.

The model was the picture in black and white, dated 1724, with the holy image that occupied the altar of the first chapel. The image was brought to the foot of Caxias do Sul immigrants and placed on the altar of the new church, built in masonry.

The construction of the current Sanctuary of Caravaggio lasted exactly 18 years (1945-1963). Imposing, with its Roman style and capacity for 2000 people, one of the most striking features of the building is in large environments and lighting that fills the rooms of the sanctuary.

As definition of Scalabrinian Sisters, responsible for assistance to pilgrims and liturgy, "the empty spaces are filled by the faith of thousands of faithful who visit the shrine every year." According to them, belief in Our Lady of Caravaggio increases every year. "The people manifest their love and devotion to Our Lady in small gestures, small tributes." A lot of flowers that are found constantly circling the altar, are evidence of the statements.
