Parish Church of Piraí do Sul, Catholic church in Piraí do Sul, Brazil.

The Menino Deus Parish Church stands with three naves and two towers in the facade, displaying an eclectic architectural style in downtown Piraí do Sul.

The church construction began in 1859, ten years after receiving permission, and initially served as the first City Council meeting place in Piraí do Sul.

The annual Menino Deus Festival occurs from December 16 to 25, featuring religious processions, novenas, and Catholic celebrations in the church.

The church belongs to the Diocese of Ponta Grossa and maintains regular religious services throughout the year for the local Catholic community.

In 1805, a statue of Menino Deus arrived at the church, reportedly found in abandoned Jesuit ruins by a cattle driver traveling between Viamão and Sorocaba.
