Igreja de Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora, Salesian church in Cuiabá, Brazil
Igreja de Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora is a Salesian church in central Cuiabá featuring Neo-Gothic architecture with ribbed vaulting. The structure stands on Tenente-Coronel Duarte Avenue and displays distinctive architectural elements typical of this style.
Construction started on April 15, 1929, under Father Francisco de Aquino Correa, who later became Bishop of the Prelature of Senhor Bom Jesus. The project represented an expansion of Salesian presence in the Mato Grosso region.
The church serves as a center for Mary devotion, with its name reflecting deep connections to Salesian teachings and local faith practices. The building functions as a spiritual gathering place where the community experiences religious traditions rooted in this particular Christian movement.
The church welcomes visitors during daily religious services held in the morning and evening on weekdays, with multiple sessions on Sundays. Its location on Tenente-Coronel Duarte Avenue makes it easily accessible for those exploring the downtown area.
The entrance features an original statue of Mary brought from Italy by the first Salesian priests, blessed by Saint John Bosco. This piece represents a direct link to the movement's founder and the church's spiritual roots.
