Pertoča (pronounced [ˈpɛːɾtɔtʃa]; in older sources also Prtoča,[2] Hungarian: Perestó,[2] German: St. Helena,[3] Prekmurje Slovene: Pertoče) is a village in the municipality of Rogašovci in the Prekmurje region of northeastern Slovenia.[4]
The parish church in the village is dedicated to Saint Helena. It belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Murska Sobota. It was originally a Gothic building dating to the 16th century. In the 1960s the original church was demolished and rebuilt in a modern style.[5]
