Entail foundation deed by António Barbosa Fiúza, priest in São Julião de Passos. The founder recognised the importance of the celebration of perpetual masses for the benefit of souls, which is why he decided to establish a "morgado ou capela", entailing all his possessions. The heir would have the perpetual obligation to ensure that two masses were celebrated every week in the church of Vila Nova de Cerveira, where the founder was born and where he was to be buried.
