The Tuitial Holy Spirit Church is a Roman Catholic Church situated in Dharmapalli, Tuitial, Nayanshree Union, Nawabganj Upazila, Dhaka Division, Bangladesh. It is the sole Catholic Church in the village.

Overview

Before becoming a separate church, it used to be a part of a church in Hasnabad.

The church was formally established on May 15, 1894, with the founding of Tuitial Dharmapalli. To accommodate the increasing number of worshippers, a new church building named ‘Tuitial Church of the Holy Spirit’ was constructed adjacent to the original structure in 1924.[1]

The 1993 film Ekattorer Jishu (Jesus of '71), based on Shahriar Kabir's novel of the same name, was filmed near the Church and along the banks of the Ichamati River.
