St. Isidore Church (Lithuanian: Šv. Izidoriaus bažnyčia, Samogitian: Šv. Ėzėduoriaus bažnīče) is a Roman Catholic church in Renavas, Lithuania. It is located near the road Židikai–Seda.

History

The church was started to build in 1918, however in 1919 when 2.5 m height walls were built the construction stopped. Construction works started again in 1929 and the Church was completed in 1933. Constructors of the Church refused exterior decoration therefore the walls were left only made of concrete.

The Church was consecrated on 12 June 1933 by bishop of Telšiai Justinas Staugaitis.

Current parson of the Renavas parish is priest Antanas Šimkus who also serves as the parson of Židikai parish.

The Church is rectangle with a small tower and a porch.
