Just an FYI to all, the Azores GenWeb has maps for each island and the info
about each parish here at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/maps.html
A quick look at the page for Sao Jorge and you would see that Santa Catharina
is in Calheta as someone else said. This can be a great resource to answer
these types of questions for you.
