315:"To those who see this Provision. Health and Peace forever in the Lord. I hereby inform you that in response to your petition represented to me by the residents of the district called: A LANÇA - of the Term of the Village of Castro: I hereby grant you the faculty to found and build a Chapel with the Jurisdiction, I mean with the Invocation of the Child God: so long as it is in a decent place, high, free of humidity, as far away as possible from filthy and sordid places, and private houses: not being however in a deserted and unpopulated place, and that the said Chapel has an ambit around so that the Processions may walk, which place shall be marked by the Most Reverend Vicar of the respective Court. This will be registered in the Book of Records of the Parish for all time records and after it is finished Mass cannot be celebrated in it, without license, for which information will be given with my sign and seal and the Capitular Table. On May 10, 1849 and I, Father Maximimo José Correa da Silva, assistant clerk of the Chapter Council, signed it. Lourenço Justiniano Ferreira

neighborhood chapel. It was made of clay, leaned on the north side by two beams so it wouldn't fall over, covered with tiles without a lining and with many leaks that made the floor rot, becoming soft and elastic from old age. The presbytery was recently built, with little light, very low, as it is now". Subsequently in the same text the priest continues with notes on particular episodes about the people of the region. About the church, he continued with his memories, stating that: "The Church of the Christ Child idealized by
Carvalhais centuries ago, trying to be built by Bernardo Paes, still suffered. Only later Father Ernesto Alberini by the 1920s, increased the lateral spaces, being followed still by his successor Father José Kramer that in the 1930s built the three naves and the Diocesan Bishop, when passing through Piraí do Sul, noted '...architectural defects in its interior hindering the altar'."
396:
The inhabitants of the region tried to maintain the church, and in 1911 a complete renovation was done in the building, which was on the point of collapse, expanding its entrance. As the city's population grew, the Parish Church could not hold the number of believers, and there was the intention to build a new church, but during the management of Father
Ernesto Alberini, vicar in the region from 1930 on, it was decided to expand the Parish Church, enlarging the size of the church and enlarging the part of the side altars and the presbytery. After Father Albertini's performance, the parish passed into the hands of Father José Kramer, who started a new reform. The building became larger, with three naves, and started to have the present two towers in the facade. Eight years later, the reform was being finished and Father Kramer performed the solemn blessing on the first day of the

of Senhor Menino Deus de Pirahy. In the 1873 census, it was verified that the new parish had a population of 2,115 people, where many lived in very poor conditions. As a result, the Parish of Senhor Menino Deus de Pirahy was dependent for many decades on the Parish of Castro, since it was not possible for the region to have its own vicar. In the chronicle of the Book of
Records it was registered: "The creation of this parish did not have as its origin the improvement of the spiritual state of the population, but was purely political". The Bishopric of São Paulo canonically established the Parish of Piraí do Sul.

As most of his children were in Rio Grande do Sul, Bernardo sought support in religion and, as he had a good relationship with the neighboring residents, he invited them to build a chapel dedicated to the Christ Child, and formed a commission for this in 1845.

The building ended up having construction errors and, to correct them, a general renovation was started in 1957, having its interior painted by the artist Emilio Zanon. Inside, panels were also painted by Friar
Narciso Pollmeier. Due to the population growth, the church started to have several branch

This period of poverty, where it was difficult to make improvements to the church, also impacted the lives of religious people. Father
Casimiro reported that: "...my income in Piraí was often not even enough to cover the expenses of the trips, but the religious fervor of the people often imposes it".

At the time the region was called Bairro da Lança.
