Spanish term

A.R.

Spanish to English Other Religion
Hello,
I'm doing a translation of a religious certificate, and it looks like this
La Parroquia de San Pedro Apostol, A.R.

How would you translate A.R.?

Thank you

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Robert Carter, AllegroTrans, Beatriz Ramírez de Haro

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Diocesis de Torreon
the other is
Parroquia de nuestra señora de san juan de los lagos, A.R.
Coahuila Mexico

AllegroTrans Aug 9, 2018:
Well that is quite a large country and at an inspired guess there could be a couple of thousand churches with this name. A.R. could well be the abbreviation for the Archdiocese - i.e. Arquidiócesis de R....
Asker's response might clear this one up
philgoddard Aug 9, 2018:
I think it's Mexico.
AllegroTrans Aug 9, 2018:
Context please As there must be literally hundreds of thousands of parishes with this name, please at least tell us where it is and the subject matter of the certificate

I still believe I am on the right track. "A.R." > Asociación(es) Religiosa(s).

I am assuming this is Mexico and not Argentina. "A.R." I believe is Asociación Religiosa", but not 100% sure. It helps if you post as much context that you can divulge without betraying confidentiality, including countries.

agree AllegroTrans : Sounds more likely explanation than my own; over to you, Asker

Thanks Allegro. No, I agree that context is sadly lacking - we don't even know which country?
agree JohnMcDove : I would vote for "Asociación Religiosa"... As an answer?

Thanks John. Wanted a little more confirmation before posting definitive answer! Country? Although many of us think it is Mexico.
