Parish Church of Our Lady of Help, Colonial church in Ilha do Governador, Brazil.

The Parish Church of Our Lady of Help stands on Ilha do Governador with its single entrance, two choir windows, triangular pediment, and side bell tower.

The original chapel from the early 18th century became a parish seat in 1710, followed by reconstruction in 1743 and renovation after a fire in the 19th century.

The church maintains regular religious services, community gatherings, and spiritual events while serving as a central point for Catholic traditions on the island.

Located at Praça Calcutá 23 in Freguesia, the church offers daily Mass from Monday to Saturday with additional weekend services for the community.

The church retains its original 18th-century lateral walls despite multiple reconstructions, preserving elements of Portuguese colonial architectural heritage.
