Joanne, Looks like Nossa Senhora da Apresentação in Capelas (on the north side of the island) also in Ponta Delgada is considered a Matriz too. >From Wikipedia: A Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Apresentação <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igreja_de_Nossa_Senhora_da_Apresenta%C3%A7%C3%A3o_%28Capelas%29> foi instituída como paróquia <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Par%C3%B3quia> em 12 de Fevereiro <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_de_Fevereiro> de 1592 <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/1592>, por carta régia de Filipe <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipe_I_de_Portugal> II (I de Portugal), a pedido do então bispo de Angra <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bispo_de_Angra>, D. Manuel de Gouveia <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_de_Gouveia>. A igreja matriz (século XVI <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9culo_XVI>) ostentava o título de 'Matriz-Prioral'.
