The Seixo de Mira Church is located in the Cabeças Verdes area, a zone integrated into the locality of Seixo. This locality is part of the municipality of Mira. Situated at a point within the local urban fabric, the church serves as one of the reference buildings in the landscape of this part of Seixo.
The existence of the Seixo de Mira Church is deeply linked to the history and efforts of the community itself. The construction of the parish was a process that involved the local population, motivated by the desire to have their own religious center in Seixo.
This journey implied, over time, the transition from previous places of worship to the space the church occupies today. The commitment of past generations was essential for the Seixo community to establish and consolidate this milestone of its religious autonomy.
Beyond its religious function, the Seixo de Mira Church is a place that preserves the memory and identity of the community. It represents the legacy of faith and resilience of those who built and maintained it over the years.
The church continues to be a meeting point for the residents of Seixo, a space that reflects the vitality of community and parish life in the locality.
