Igreja Matriz Nossa Senhora Dos Remédios - Piripiri - PI

There is no way not to love the place where you are welcomed by God.and where you find peace. When you enter you feel something different reassuring.

I'm evangelical, for me, it runs away from some principles, I didn't enter, but it has a lot of social and cultural value. And I had wonderful times next.

I wanted to know how do you know if there is a baptistello in this church? And if you have it, how do you send it?

Large church, organized and very clean. It has fans and air conditioning that softens the heat a little on Mass days. The stained glass windows make the church even more beautiful. The celebration that is at the beginning of the month is very lively, bringing people from everywhere, even from other states. Moment of faith and leisure for the people of Piripiri.

Church with beautiful architecture, and a square in front of trees.

Very beautiful church when possible I go every year to the festivities of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios.

The Mother Church of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios began as a chapel in 1844, when Father Domingos de Freitas e Silva received land, through donation, formerly called Botica. As patrimony of the Chapel of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, three hundred square fathoms of land, judicially demarcated, were donated in 1860 by the priest, which provided resources for the acquisition of the necessary vestments for religious worship. In 1864, the Parish of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios was created, which was previously a Parish belonging to the Parish of Nossa Senhora do Carmo in Piracuruca, which belonged to the Archdiocese of São Luis do Maranhão. The Creator of the Parish of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios was Dom Frei Luís da Conceição Saraiva, OSB, from Bahia – Bishop of São Luis do Maranhão. In 1884, the mother church was built, a beautiful building that was very well appreciated by all Catholics in the city, which gradually became small, as the population grew and the church no longer held the faithful inside. In 1953, with the arrival of the Franciscans, the church was demolished, giving way to the beautiful building, built by the friars, which brings together the Catholics of this prestigious parish. Word of mouth, from street to street, from neighborhood to neighborhood, from village to village, throughout the city and even in neighboring cities, that the Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios is the most beautiful building in the city of Piripiri. Congratulations to the people of Piripira because they managed to build a beautiful temple for the praise of God and the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
