Municipality

The municipality of Ibiaçá (4,710 inhabitants in 2010; 34,882 ha) is located 300 km of Porto Alegre.

Ibiaçá originally belonged to Constança Augusta Bueno de Oliveira, who sold a big domain to Filomeno Pereira Gomes. Italian immigrants could acquire small plots, which formed a small town named Vila Nova Fiúme. When the first immigrants settled in 1916, there were already there three Caboclo families. Valentim Dalzotto established in 1923 a sawmill to exploit Brazilian pines and build houses. The first chapel was erected in June 1924, served by the parish priest of Sananduva. The same year were established a mill, a forge, an hotel and a commercial shop.
Nova Fiúme was elevated, as Ibiaçá, to the 12th district of Lagoa Vermelha by Municipal Law No. 59 promulgated on 5 May 1948. Ibiaçá means in a local language "Fountain of Crystalline Water". Ibiaçá was transferred in December 1954 to the newly established municipality of Sananduva, as its 2nd district. The municipality of Ibiaçá was established by State Law No. 5,102 promulgated on 22 November 1965, and inaugurated on 15 May 1966.

Father Narcisso Zanatta (1930-1992) served as Vicar of the St. Philomena parish of Ibiaçá from 10 February 1952 to 15 December 1957. He organized on 23,24 and 25 March 1952 a pilgrimage dedicated to Our Lady of Consolation / Mary, Consoler of the Afflicted, which ended with consecration and enthroning of a statue of the Virgin in the parish church. On 30 May 1954, during the celebration of the Marian Year commemorating the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, His Grace Cândido Julio Bampi (1889-1978), Prelate of Vacaria, proclaimed Our Lady of the Consolation co-patron saint of the parish and established the date of the pilgrimage as February's last Sunday. Since then, the Ibiaçá pilgrimage as one of the most popular Marian pilgrimage in South America. The present-day's Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora Consolada was built in 1970.
