Igreja das Chagas do Seráfico Pai São Francisco

Igreja das Chagas do Seráfico Pai São Francisco, Colonial church in Glicério, São Paulo, Brazil.

Igreja das Chagas do Seráfico Pai São Francisco stands at Largo de São Francisco in the historic center, not Glicério. Its cross-shaped plan joins an octagonal transept, once a separate chapel, under a dome painted in the 18th century. The facade is attributed to Afro-Brazilian architect Joaquim Pinto de Oliveira, known as Tebas.

In 1676 the Third Order brothers, led by Friar João de São Francisco, began a chapel inside the Franciscan church. Completed in 1736 and linked by an arch, it was enlarged after the friars donated surrounding land in 1783; the octagonal chapel became the transept of a new cross-shaped church inaugurated on 11 September 1787.

Every 8th of the month, the church holds a Mass in praise of Saint Anthony of Categeró, an image venerated here for more than 300 years. The name refers to the wounds Saint Francis received; the nave ceiling, painted in 1790-1791, shows him handing the rule to the Third Order brothers.

The church stands on Largo de São Francisco, beside the Church of Saint Francis, in the historic centre; the address and restoration dates in the old text are unsourced. Enter from the largo to see the transept dome and the altarpiece of the Immaculate Conception. Masses in praise of Saint Anthony of Categeró are held on the 8th of each month.

The walls are mostly rammed earth, with brick and bamboo wattle-and-daub sections. Inside hangs the largest known set of paintings by José Patrício da Silva Manso: the nave ceiling (1790–1791) shows Saint Francis handing the rule to the Third Order brothers, and the chancel roof (1791–1792) shows him ascending in a chariot of fire.
