Santa Paulina Sanctuary

Come and discover the Santa Paulina Sanctuary in Nova Trento, a sacred place that has enchanted pilgrims from all over Brazil and the world since the beatification of Mother Paulina, by Pope John Paul II, in 1991.

The history of this sanctuary began with the need to welcome the faithful who came in search of graces and to thank the first Saint of Brazil. Construction began in 2002 and completed in 2006, with an architectural project that reflects the life trajectory of Saint Paulina, a woman of exemplary spirituality and kindness.

With a built area of approximately 9,000 m², the temple has the capacity to accommodate up to 3,000 people seated and another three thousand standing. The Sanctuary is not only a place of prayer, but also an ecological park, where visitors can enjoy the exuberant nature of the region, with its forests, waterfalls, animals and beautiful trails.

In addition to the religious structure, the complex offers its own restaurant, accommodation and a souvenir shop, so that everyone who visits the Sanctuary can enjoy special moments and take with them a souvenir of this unique experience.
