Paróquia de Santa Terezinha, Catholic church in downtown São Paulo, Brazil.

The Paróquia de Santa Teresinha do Menino Jesus is a Romanesque-style church on Rua Maranhão in Higienópolis, São Paulo, inaugurated in 1928. Its interior is laid out in the shape of a cross, with a central altar of Carrara marble. The altar image shows Saint Thérèse barefoot beside the Child Jesus reclining on the Holy Face; she gathers roses from her apron, with white lilies and her painted coat of arms at her feet.

The parish was established in 1928 during a period of rapid growth in São Paulo, when the Church was working to strengthen its presence across the expanding city. This founding reflected a broader effort to serve newly developed neighborhoods.

The parish is a popular venue for weddings: rose petals are dropped from the roof onto the couple as they exchange rings. The image of Saint Thérèse was brought from Lisieux, France, donated by Dona Sofia Neves Torres, and the bell was a gift from Count Matarazzo.

The parish sits at Rua Maranhão 617 in Higienópolis, near Avenida Angélica, in the Sé region of São Paulo. Couples should note that the church is one of the city's most sought-after wedding venues, so visits may coincide with ceremonies. The Casa Santa Teresinha, attached to the parish, carries out its charitable work.

The parish runs the Casa Santa Teresinha, an assistance house attached to the church. The bell was a gift from the Italian-Brazilian industrialist Conde Matarazzo, while the statue of Thérèse came from Lisieux in France, donated by Sofia Neves Torres.
