In Vale do Ribeira, State of São Paulo, there are dozens of quilombo territories that during the years of slavery were constituted in free areas, in which fugitives, together with slaves abandoned after the decline of the mining cycle in the region, formed clusters that gave rise to these black rural neighborhoods. Among these is found the Quilombola Community of Ribeirão Grande and Terra Seca, located in the São Paulo municipality of Barra do Turvo. This research investigated the relevance of religion in the formation and trajectory of this community. It had bibliographic sources that deal with the theme, references that contributed to the theoretical basis and fieldwork, specifically, the narratives of the community's memory. The intention is to identify the boundaries of transposition of identity experiences, with regard to religion, to analyze how mobility occurs, the construction of new delimitations and what remains as corresponding to African roots. The use of orality was the main contribution to the historical reconstruction of religious experiences and observation of daily life. The present study highlights that although Catholicism imposed itself as the legitimate practice and African and caboclo religious traditions were uprooted and persecuted, these remained firm in Brazilian territories, resisting subjection and strong dominance. Their beliefs and memories, inheritances from the ancestors, remained nourished by devotions with the appearance of Catholicism, but Keeping senses and textures that refer to African roots.
