Paróquia São João Maria Vianney, Catholic church in Água Branca district, São Paulo, Brazil.
The Paróquia São João Maria Vianney stands in Praça Cornélia square, featuring architectural elements designed by Alexandre Albuquerque in the Baroque style.
The church construction began in 1927, with its completion in 1931 and official inauguration in 1932, following Archbishop Dom Duarte Leopoldo e Silva's visit to France.
The church area developed into a central meeting point for the Italian community, with a weekly craft fair taking place in Praça Cornélia square.
The parish maintains regular Sunday morning Mass services, accompanied by the sounds of its restored 75-year-old pipe organ throughout the celebrations.
The church bells have rung before Sunday morning masses for 81 years, despite once receiving a fine for exceeding municipal noise regulations.
