Parrocchia Santa Maria Madre della Chiesa

To the south of Valdagno, in the area known as Ponte dei Nori, there was significant building development during the post-war years, leading to a rapid increase in the population. Initially, it was the archpriest of Valdagno who provided spiritual assistance to the area. Beginning in 1964, Don Bruno Tomba started residing there and initiated the construction of the new church. Given the significant number of inhabitants and the now complete pastoral organization, the new parish was established on July 15, 1967, dedicated to Santa Maria Madre della Chiesa.
The church of Ponte dei Nori rises in the shape of a large and elegant tent, above the basement classrooms designated for the parish's collateral services (catechesis, groups and associations, recreational activities).
The parish church, built in the 1960s from a design by engineer Igino Serblin, was later blessed on June 18, 1967. The parish youth center is located in the basement of the church. In 1996, the presbytery was adapted to current liturgical norms and significantly improved in terms of functionality and aesthetics. The flooring of the entire presbytery was redone, eliminating the central steps on which the old altar rested and widening the space for the ambo. The flooring is designed with geometric figures obtained by combining multicolored marbles, highlighting the location of the altar, the seat, and the ambo. The new altar consists of a rectangular slab of solid white marble placed on a cube of solid red marble with some supporting spheres.
