Paróquia São Pedro do Mar

Nestled in the heart of Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Paróquia São Pedro do Mar has served as a beacon of faith since its founding on February 18, 1987. The parish’s mission is simple yet profound: to guide people towards an encounter with Christ and foster a deep love for Him. Paróquia São Pedro do Mar is more than just a building. It’s a vibrant community, a place where lives are transformed, and faith is celebrated. The church is led by Monsenhor Luiz Artur, a dedicated pastor whose 32 years of ordination were celebrated in a special mass in August 2023. He leads a dedicated team, including a Pastoral Familiar, which actively supports families through various programs like EPVM and ECC. This group offers guidance and strengthens family bonds in line with the teachings of the church. The church’s calendar is filled with special events that bring the community together. In September 2023, the children of the catechism class participated in a vibrant biblical exhibition. October marked a joyous occasion with a celebration of Monsenhor Luiz Artur’s birthday. A festive “Baile de Todos os Santos” filled the church with music and joy in November. Even amidst the challenges, like the fallen sculpture after the 2022 storm, the spirit of Paróquia São Pedro do Mar remains resilient. The church is a place where faith is nurtured and celebrated, a sanctuary in the bustling city of Rio de Janeiro. The parish’s regular mass schedule caters to the diverse needs of the community, with services held on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. This schedule allows parishioners to connect with their faith at various times throughout the week. If you’re planning to visit Paróquia São Pedro do Mar, you can find it at Rua Gilberto Freire, 100.
