S Caetano de Odivelas

S Caetano was developed under the strong influence of Jesuit priests who arrived during the colonial period in 1757. The priests installed by river Mojuim to be known as S Caetano.  Almost 100 years later the village became a town, and in 1890 it was raised to city.

[1] Cairary,according to the priest Nazareno de Carvalho is a community that used to be independent from Moju, the parish ended up being eliminated and the documents were re-sent to Moju. Later on the parish was re-established but the books were not returned.

Cairiry, segundo o pároco, é uma comunidade que, de inicio, atuava independente em uma comunidade ribeirinha, distante umas tantas horas de viagem do Moju. A comunidade eclesial acabou sendo dissolvida e os documentos foram direcionados para o Moju e lá ficaram. Logo depois a comunidade foi reestabelecida, mas os documentos não foram devolvidos.
