Capela do Cristo Operário, Religious building in Cursino District, São Paulo, Brazil.
The building features clean lines and minimalist architecture with a wooden double door entrance and illustrative stained glass windows throughout the structure.
Founded in 1950 by Friar João Batista Pereira dos Santos, the chapel served industrial workers from Vila Brasílio Machado during São Paulo's industrialization period.
The chapel contains murals by Alfredo Volpi and gardens designed by Roberto Burle Marx, combining religious elements with Brazilian modernist artworks.
The building holds religious services on Saturdays and Sundays while housing the Dominican School of Theology and Dominican Province offices.
From 1954 to 1967, the chapel grounds included the Unilabor furniture factory, where workers shared profits from sales of Geraldo de Barros designs.
