The Roots of an Initiative

The Nossa Senhora da Encarnação Parish Social Centre was born from the commitment of the community and the local Parish Priest in the 1990s. It began its activities in April 1994, and its headquarters were solemnly blessed in September 1996 by the Bishop of the Diocese of Viana do Castelo. This fact underlines its intrinsic connection to faith and parish life, revealing a project that grew from within the community to serve its needs, solidifying itself as a prominent institution in the region.
