Igreja do Bom Jesus do Bonfim das Águas Vermelhas

Igreja do Bom Jesus do Bonfim das Águas Vermelhas, Catholic church in Jardim Vergueiro, Sorocaba, Brazil.

Igreja do Bom Jesus do Bonfim das Águas Vermelhas is a chapel near the Água Vermelha stream with traditional Brazilian architectural features and decorative touches. The building contains a main chapel, side altars, a music room, and a small gathering space for community use.

João de Camargo, born in Sarapuí in 1858, built the chapel from 1906 and inaugurated it in 1907 on the left bank of the Água Vermelha stream; it was enlarged in 1910. In 1913 he was tried for curandeirismo and acquitted, and in February 1921 the Associação Espírita e Beneficente Capela do Senhor do Bonfim was recognized as the legal body maintaining the chapel.

The chapel is also called Capela de João Camargo, after the healer who founded it. Sunday rosary prayer is still held with the management's authorization, but other rituals such as passes and giras are not permitted. The tomb of João de Camargo in the Cemitério da Saudade has a replica of the chapel built around it, open to the faithful on All Souls' Day, 2 November.

The chapel is located in the Jardim Vergueiro neighborhood near Barão de Tatuí Avenue and is easily reached. It is best to visit during regular opening hours or when community events are taking place.

João de Camargo died on 28 September 1945 and was buried in Sorocaba's Cemitério da Saudade; in the 1960s a devotee built a replica of the chapel around his tomb, which is opened to the faithful on All Souls' Day, 2 November.
