São Pelegrino's church, Catholic church in Caxias do Sul, Brazil.

The stone building features detailed murals, bronze doors weighing seven tons, and religious artworks throughout its interior spaces.

The church construction began in 1944 following architect Vitorino Zani's design, with its official inauguration taking place in August 1953.

Between 1951 and 1960, artist Aldo Locatelli created extensive biblical murals and Stations of the Cross paintings inside the church.

The church opens daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, offering masses on weekdays at 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM, with additional services on weekends.

The church houses a replica of Michelangelo's Pietà, received as a gift from Pope Paul VI, and contains a facsimile of the Holy Shroud.
