RESUMO

This work is about the trajectory of the arrival of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brazil, during its first stage of establishment, in a more specific way, until the year of 1941. Its starting in the state of Santa Catarina took place in the city of Joinville German colony and later, working together with the Lippelt family. This work describes the development of German immigration in the state of Santa Catarina. It will be analysed the appearing of the first cities, which will be the target of proselytizing work by Missionary Mormons and the establishment of the immigrant families in the founded colonies by the Brazilian government as well as by private enterprise, as it is the case of the cities of Joinville and Blumenau. The colonies had the goal of populating the Middle-West of Santa Catarina in order to protect the dominance of the Brazilian territory, which had been formerly required by Argentina, as well as protecting the territory of Santa Catarina and Paraná. This work also analyses the conflicts aroused by the construction of the São Paulo-Rio Grande EFSPRG railway and the benefits that it brought. The immigrants arrived through this railway, means of transport also used by Missionary Mormons for the settlement of the Church in the Middle-West of Santa Catarina. The family Lippelt, pioneer of the Church, is discussed as an important link for the establishment of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brazil in the region of Ipoméia, district of Rio das Antas SC.
