The Brazil São Paulo South is one of the oldest and smallest
missions in Brazil. The mission was created originally as the Brazil South
Central mission on October 17, 1972, and encompassed a large portion of Brazil.
The Brazil South Central Mission was the 102nd mission. On June 30, 1974, the
Brazil South Central Mission was officially renamed the Brazil São Paulo South
Mission. The South mission covered the southern portions of the city of São
Paulo and extended to the southern states of Santa Catarina and Paraná.
The São Paulo South Mission was divided on July 1, 1980, forming the
Brazil Curitiba Mission. The mission was then split again on July 1,
1991, creating the Brazil São
Paulo East Mission and the
Brazil São Paulo Interlagos Mission. The mission was divided again in
September 1997, giving several additional cities to the São Paulo Interlagos
mission.
The Brazil São Paulo South Mission lies within the heart of the oldest cities
in Brazil. São Vicente, the first city settled in Brazil, is within the mission
boundaries as well as famous cities such as Santos, the home of Pelé the soccer
player. The São Paulo South Mission today only has a tiny portion of the actual
city of São Paulo. The vast majority of the mission is located in the A.B.C.
area (Santo Andre, São Bernardo do Campo, and São Caetano) and the Baixada
(Santos, São Vicente, Praia Grande).
Today, there are 12 stakes in the mission and hundreds of wards and branches.
One of the first chapels dedicated in Brazil is a short distance from the
mission office.
