Introduction to Our Lady of Piety Church
In the Dharbandora taluka of Goa, lies the serene and historic Our Lady of Piety Church. This charming church, often referred to as the Collem Church, stands as a testament to the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of the region. Originally a modest cross that marked the spot, it was later replaced by a chapel in 1882 and rebuilt and blessed in 1916. The church's simple yet elegant facade belies the vibrant community it serves, with the Pilar Fathers and the Daughters of the Cross of Liege actively involved in the parish. As you step inside, you're enveloped by the warm glow of wooden carvings and the soft murmur of prayers, creating a sense of tranquility that contrasts beautifully with the bustling life outside. The church's annual feast on the second Sunday of November is a local highlight, drawing in devotees and curious visitors alike to experience the heart and soul of this Goan gem.
