Here church and school enjoy a lofty site worthy of the delightful Nossa Senhora Mae de Deus, Our Lady Mother of God. This is Goan Rococo being most elegant with loftiness and freedom and having balance of space in combination with an abundance of exotic decoration.
The main reredos design is borrowed from the supreme example at St. Cajetan church in Old Goa, a strong upward movement emphasized by the start from the weightier lower section with its magnificent candelabra and elaborate paneling almost the shadows, between which the tabernacle, another beautiful individual piece, is strongly highlighted. The eye is carried through the image of Our Lady to the area of light created by the high windows and groined vaulting, spilling into the crucifix with cherubs supporting the crown, high above all, forms the canopy. The delicate tracery of the stuccowork of the high vault is awesome, itself further enhanced by the theme of gold and white.
