It was a charity hospital much like a hospice. My great grandmother died there.
It used to be located in the old Franciscan convent right next door to the S.
Jose/S. Mateus church in Ponta Delgada. It has also been located in other
places as well, but in the same vicinity.

Thank you all for info on Sao Matheus. Margaret, I'm thinking about visiting
the Azores and this information helps if we get there to visit these places. I
have one ancestor who died in the Casa de Misericórdia (or was buried there).
Was that a hospital?
Thank you so much.

There was a church of S. Mateus in Ponta Delgada. It was not the same church as
Sao Jose, and it was located no Largo Martires da Patria, or Campo da
Conceicao. It no longer exists as it was demolished and gave place to the
garden of Padre Jose Joaquim de Sena Freitas.
Because the Parish grew quickly a bigger church was built to the east of the S.
Mateus church, in the Campo de Sao Francisco ( S. Francisco's square) situated
on the north side of the hospital, Santa Casa da Misericordia. The new church
was initially named Santa Clara and later renamed Sao Jose. You will find
records mentioning all these three churches.
Sao Mateus records were moved to the new church of Santa Clara, later called
Sao Jose and remaining as such to present day.

Yes, it was originally S. Mateus before it became S. Jose.

Does anyone know if the church of São Matheus is now São José on Ponta Delgada?
I have a person who was baptized in São Matheus but I don't see any records
for such a church.
Maybe it has another name now? Thanks .
