Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário - Recife - PE

The church is beautiful! It is under renovation, but it still has mass and confessions. On Instagram @missatridentinanorecife has the days and times of activities.

Wonderful church, it is a living tabernacle of Catholicism. Gregorian chants and respect for the things of God make the church even more charming. Priests are wonderful and treat the faithful very well.

An amazing place for prayer. It is excellent to attend Holy Mass in the Ancient Rite

To the greater glory of God (Missa Drop - Advent 2021)

Location of the Tridentine Mass in Recife. Women need to cover their heads with a veil (white for unmarried women and black for married women). Communion is taken in the mouth and on the knees. Mass is said in Latin but the homily is in Portuguese.

Located in the Boa Vista neighborhood, the Nossa Senhora do Rosário da Boa Vista Church was built by the Brotherhood of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos. As the resources of this Brotherhood were very limited, all of its assets were limited to "a single-storey house of stone and lime, located on Rua da Glória, which had been bought by the brothers in 1737, for the amount of eighty thousand reis". The temple grounds (a donation made by the heirs of field master João Marinho Falcão) were located on the old site of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição dos Coqueiros bond, which is currently called Rua da Conceição. Even with the building unfinished, the cornerstone of the church is laid on July 26, 1788 and its first act celebrated by Father Dr. Manuel de Araújo Carvalho Gondim. The image of the patron saint Nossa Senhora do Rosário, almost life-size, was an offer from João da Ponte Rego, in the year 1789. At this time, it is worth mentioning, the Brotherhood did not even have its temple ready. That image, all carved in wood and from Lisbon, represents a beautiful work of sacred sculpture. The blacks, members of the Brotherhood of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos, because they did not have enough financial resources, were only able to build a modest little chapel and, even so, it took about twenty-five years to complete it. Realizing that the chapel was already threatening to collapse, some time later, the Brotherhood planned to build a larger temple, in Baroque style. However, the great protector of this new undertaking is now Gervásio Pires Ferreira. Returning to Recife, coming from Portugal, the rich merchant will live in a beautiful townhouse, next to the old church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos. Perceiving the physical condition of the temple, on the one hand, and, on the other, being a great devotee of that saint, Gervásio Pires tried to help the black brothers financially, so that they could build a new church. Enthusiastic with such help, the brothers Maria Eugênia do Rosário and Inácio Antônio da Silva also sensitized a number of people, obtained more donations and, in 1815, the works were started. It is not known, precisely, the date on which the work ended. The tower, for example, only managed to be erected in 1896. However, in 1831, the year in which Gervásio Pires died, the temple must have been completed, because the remains of the illustrious merchant and politician were buried there. His tomb is on the ground, next to the altar of the liturgy. The epitaph, in marble, because it is very damaged, only allows the following words to be read: Here they lie / Gervásio Pires Ferreira / son of / Domingos Pires Ferreira and Joana Maria de Deus / ......... (illegible) ..... good husband and father / .... 1831-188x .. ... Born on June 20, 1765 ....... Another great devotee of that church was the historian Pereira da Costa. In his will, he determined not to want, when he died, neither flowers, nor mourning, nor crying, but to be buried in a black calico coffin, with a madapolão cross, in a deposit of the Brotherhood of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos, the Boa Vista neighborhood. In its deposit, in the church, there is a coat of arms, identical to the one of the State of Pernambuco, where it can be read: F. A. Pereira da Costa. The master of us all - Oliveira Lima. I am a simple chronicler, as if the rude miner who descends to the depths of the Earth, extracts the shapeless diamond, full of impurities, and hands it over to the expert and polished patient to give it shine and value. 16-12-1851 - 11/21/1923 // A. Flores & Paz, Camboa do Carmo, n. 67. Until the end of the 19th century, during Holy Week, leaving Rua da Conceição and ending in the neighborhood of Santo Antônio, one of the most popular processions emerged from that temple: that of Senhor Bom Jesus da Cruz. At the present time, the temple has its own chaplain and, in it, all the acts of the Catholic liturgy are celebrated. In addition to the main altar and some pictures in the sacristy, the church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário da Boa Vista also has the altars of São Sebastião, São Benedito, Senhor Bom Jesus da Cruz, and Nos

Treasure of Catholic tradition. Tridentine Mass celebrated as at its origin in Rome. No dancing, clapping and "dancing" songs. Just the rite of remembering the life and death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
