between 1665 and 1666, the church was expanded and the current façade was completed, helped by the patronage of the local residents, such as maria luís who, in her 10 january will, left money for the construction for the new church (specifically the clock-tower mechanisms). ironically, though, the clock-tower was never completed or demolished later, as was indicated by jorge gamboa de vasconcelos. at this time there were eight high altars within the interior nave dedicated to: "santo cristo" (jesus christ), saint francis xavier, "our lady of life", the "sacred heart of jesus", "our lady of victory", saint anthony of padua, saint francis of borja and saint stanislau.
