The purpose of this article is to investigate the influence of the Catholic Church on the corporal practices of the João Alcântara School Group, in Porteirinha/MG, between the years of 1930 and 1945. For the Church, education was a powerful strategy with regard to the expansion and maintenance of it’s hegemony, and, through it’s doctrine, it proposed the bodily education of children, youth, and women so that they could add strength to religion. For the constitution of this task, the analysis of documentary sources was carried out in books of meetings of teachers, newspaper clippings, photographs, tombo books of several parishes and educational legislation. As a result, it can be said that the education of the body supported the education of mind and morals. As a result, sport became an interesting ally for a proposal of a State and a Church that claimed to be to be unitary, strong and fundamental within their domains.
