In the Igreja Católica Apostólica Brasileira founded by Duarte Costa on July 6, 1945 in Rio de Janeiro shortly before, he officiated as the first diocesan bishop of São Paulo .

On December 8, 1959, Salomão Ferraz was under Pope John XXIII. inducted into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. On May 10, 1963, now at the age of 83, he was appointed titular bishop of Eleutherna . Since the validity of the episcopal ordination donated by Duarte Costa was not in question, a renewed ordination sub conditione was waived. He participated in all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council as a council father. After almost 24 years of episcopate, he died on May 11, 1969 at the age of 90.
