St. Matthew Cathedral, São Mateus, Catholic cathedral in São Mateus, Brazil.

St. Matthew Cathedral is a church building in São Mateus featuring a distinctive tent-shaped form. Inside, Impressionist-style murals by artist Claudio Pastro interpret religious themes through a contemporary lens.

The cathedral was built starting in 1987 with funding generated from selling another religious building. State government support played an important role in bringing the project to completion.

The building's tent-like form represents God's dwelling among people, a concept rooted in biblical tradition. Visitors can see this symbolic meaning expressed directly in how the structure is shaped.

The cathedral stands in São Mateus, Espírito Santo, and its tent-shaped profile is visible from the surrounding streets. The interior frescoes by Claudio Pastro are the main feature to look for once inside. As an active Catholic place of worship, it is visited respectfully and with modest dress.

The cathedral was dedicated to Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, on 28 May 1989, months after its inauguration. On inauguration day, 11 December 1988, four men were ordained deacons and Father Aldir Roque Lóss was ordained priest there.
