The service practiced by Mercy in Brazil, under royal authorization was given by the ruling elite, with strategies to ensure their privileges a secular character of the institution, but under the influence of the Catholic Church. The Mercy in Mato Grosso land was possible due to the legacy of Manuel Fernandes Guimarães, the Captain-General João Augusto D'Oyennhausen and Gravenburg, was responsible for the administration of the amount donated.
