The '''Capela da Sagrada Família''' (''Chapel of the Holy Family'') is a [[Roman Catholic]] chapel built in 1769 on the island of [[Chorão (island)|Chorão]], [[Goa]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Capela da Sagrada Família, Pandavaddo, [[Chorão (island)|Chorão]] was built on plot gifted from John Pereira and it was built at his expenses by Fr. Honorio Vincente Pereira of Pandavaddo (ord. 23-9-1769). The Provision of 1 September 1769 granted permission for the construction of this Chapel. Fr. Pereira was appointed its first Chaplain by a notification of 5 November 1771. He was also the administrator of the Chapel and finally handed over the charge to the people of the village.<ref>The Island of Chorão (A Historical Sketch) 1962 By Francisco Xavier Gomes Catão page 58 {{OCLC|29051875}}</ref><br />

The Chapel was erected on 12 October 1782 and re-built by the Provision of 17 December 1876. It was re-constructed for the second time and the Vicar General of the Archdiocese, Mons Pedro Remigio dos Baretto blesses it on 3 May 1918.<ref>Bosq Historia ii Page 84</ref><br />
