Igreja São Benedito has a connection with the development of Itaubal. Unifap research records migrants bringing an image of the saint in 1940 and the first local Mass, celebrated that year by Father Felipe Blanc. This religious memory helps explain devotion to the patron saint, but it does not establish when the present building was constructed.
The church remains part of public life: the municipal programme for 2026 announced a Mass here marking Itaubal’s 34th anniversary. When visiting, observe the façade bearing the saint’s name and, if the church is open, take time to explore this place of devotion. Combine your visit with the square and waterfront in the municipal seat, respecting services, quiet worship and guidance on photography.
