When Arline and I were in Rosais in 2006, talking to anyone who would stop to talk, we met a man with the surname of Sequeira. Since that is my son-in-law's paternal great-grandfather's name, we had a conversation and he said he had an old picture of the church. We took the picture to Velas, had a copy made, and returned the original to him. During our conversation, he told us about the church being rebuilt with the steeple put on the other side. I don't remember what year that took place, maybe Arline does. Celeste, Hayward, CA
