The Póvoa church is used by the Póvoa de Varzim Ward and the Vila de Conde branch. The chapel is new and was constructed by the LDS church following the typical floor plan of the new churchs.
The typical LDS church had a nice kitchen with a serving window into the Relief Society room. This picture is the faithful sisters of the Póvoa ward cleaning up after a ward social. As you can see the church was a very functional facility. Kitchen in Póvoa Church
