Paróquia Cristo Redentor (Parish of Christ the Redeemer) is a territorial parish in the Archdiocese of São Salvador da Bahia, located in the Pituba neighborhood of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Dedicated to Christ the Redeemer—the title emphasizing Jesus Christ's redemptive sacrifice on the Cross and His victory over sin and death—the parish serves an urban community in one of Salvador's residential and commercial districts.

Established in 1982 to address pastoral needs in the expanding Pituba area, the parish reflects contemporary Brazilian ecclesial development in suburban zones. The church building dates from the late twentieth century. As of December 15, 2025, Paróquia Cristo Redentor maintains standard parish ministries, including catechesis, liturgy, and charitable activities typical of urban parishes in the archdiocese.

The parish community centers its spiritual life on the Eucharist and devotion to Christ as Redeemer.

History

Paróquia Cristo Redentor was canonically erected in 1982 within the Archdiocese of São Salvador da Bahia to serve the growing population in the Pituba neighborhood.

This foundation responded to urban expansion in Salvador during the late twentieth century, providing dedicated pastoral care to new residential areas. The church was constructed subsequently, supporting the community's sacramental and formative needs.

The parish continues to operate as part of the archdiocesan structure, participating in broader evangelization efforts.

This follows common practice where first-class relics, often of martyrs, are sealed within the altar.

Architecture

The church building reflects late twentieth-century Brazilian parish architecture, designed for functional communal worship in an urban setting.

Art and devotional features
