Facts and practical information

Santa Teresinha do Menino Jesus Parish is a Brazilian parish, of the Archdiocese of São Paulo, located in the Sé Region, Santa Cecília Sector, which is located at Rua Maranhão nº 617, in the Higienópolis neighborhood, near Avenida Angélica, in the city of São Paulo.

It was inaugurated in 1928, designed by the Italian engineer Antonio Vincenti, and had the work executed by the architect Fiorello Panelli, with its interior unfinished.

The image of Saint Theresa, brought from Lisieux, was a donation of Dona Sofia Neves Torres, and the bell was a gift from the Italian-Brazilian businessman Conde Matarazzo.

The interior of the church, in the shape of a cross, is Romanesque in style. Its central altar is of Carrara marble, and bears an image of Saint Therese barefooted, next to the Child Jesus leaning on the Holy Face. From her apron, the child Teresa picks the roses that she spreads to the world. Next to her feet are white lilies and a shield with the coat of arms she painted in Carmel. The falling flowers are contained by a Brazilian flag.

The parish is one of the most popular for weddings. It is a reference in the city because from the top, rose petals are showered over the bride and groom during the exchange of rings.

The Parish also promotes assistential and philanthropic works.

Everaldo Abril Pontes, OCD is the parish's pastor and will take office on March 8, 2020.
