Mel, its boilerplate language. When someone becomes a parishioner of another parish they are welcomed by the congregation (figure of speech). If you've been to Sao Miguel and travelled to different points of interest you'd note that Sete Cidades is in a "valley" - so is Furnas, and Lagoa, etc. Its used as an alternative to words like cidade, villa, matriz, freguesia, etc. Apparently the parents at some point moved to Sete Cidades, and baptized their child in the Irmida de Sao Nicolau. Irmidas are not full fledged parishes, they are basically chapels... so the are subordinate to a mother parish. The Ermida de Sao Paulo, in Ribeira Quente was subordinate to Nossa Senhora da Piedade for decades until it was upgraded to parish status. During the periods when the Ermida is subordinate to the larger parish, records of events such as marriages are recorded in in both locations.
