The Tuital Holy Spirit Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Dharmapalli, Tuital, Nayanshree Union, Nawabganj Upazila, Dhaka Division, Bangladesh.[1] It serves as the sole Catholic church in the village and plays a central role in the spiritual life of the local Christian community.
History
The Christian community of Tuital was formally established with the founding of Tuital Dharmapalli on 15 May 1894. To accommodate the growing number of worshippers, a new church building - Tuital Church of the Holy Spirit - was constructed adjacent to the original structure in 1924. The church has since remained an active center of religious and community activities.[2]
In media
The 1993 film Ekattorer Jishu (Jesus of the Seventy-One), based on Shahriar Kabir's novel of the same name, was filmed near the Church and along the banks of the Ichamati River.
