Saint Sebastian Mother Church, Catholic church in downtown Coronel Fabriciano, Brazil.

The Saint Sebastian Mother Church features a 19-meter tower topped with a clock and bell, painted in blue exterior and white interior.

The construction began in 1946 to replace an earlier church from 1929, receiving its first mass in 1949 during Coronel Fabriciano's municipal independence.

The church interior contains fourteen oil paintings of the Via Crucis created by artist Carlos Oswald in 1954, enriching its municipal heritage status.

The religious building accommodates 200 people and maintains regular services, serving as a venue for weddings, baptisms, and religious celebrations.

In 1979, Pope John Paul II designated the church as a seat of the Diocese of Itabira, sharing cathedral functions with Itabira until 1993.
