Igreja Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte

Igreja Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte, Baroque church in historic center, São Paulo, Brazil.

Igreja Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte stands at Rua do Carmo 202, near Praça da Sé, on the Tabatinguera hill. Sources describe it as baroque in style, modestly built in mortar with a wooden roof. Inside are a presbytery with tribunes, an altar with the image of Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte, and rococo and neoclassical carvings.

The Brotherhood of Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte, founded on 16 January 1728 at the Pátio do Colégio, bought the Rua do Carmo plot from Joaquim de Souza Ferreira in 1802 for 112$000 réis. Members worked eight years on the building, blessed on 14 August 1810, with the images moved from the Carmo Convent on 25 July. The tower was remodelled between 1871 and 1873, and a restoration begun in 2006 reopened the church on 12 July 2009.

Founded on 16 January 1728 at the Pátio do Colégio, the Brotherhood was originally called Irmandade dos Homens Pardos and admitted members of every ethnicity, class and gender. Its devotion was perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: each member received a slip of paper with the day, hour and month assigned for prayer. In 1768 the canon João Rodrigues Paes defended this openness before the government, and the same day his enslaved man Thomas de Mendonça registered as a member.

The church stands at Rua do Carmo 202, near Praça da Sé, and stays open 24 hours every day of the week, so visits are possible at any hour. Entry is for perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, so keep voices low and avoid walking through the pews during prayer.

The church stands on the Tabatinguera hill, a high point of 18th-century São Paulo that overlooked the road from Ipiranga into the city. Its bells announced arrivals, earning it the nickname "church of good news".
