Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store. In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement. In addition to being an avid videographer, Januario was also an active photographer, capturing events such as Carnaval celebrations, cantoria performances, Portuguese festas and festivals, general scenes and events around the Back Central neighborhood, and other moments related to the Portuguese community of Lowell. He captured hundreds of photographs of local community members and Portuguese culture, and thanks to his passion for both videography and photography, memories and traditions from the Portuguese American community in Lowell will now be preserved for the next generations to see. Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children—Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal—and their families, including many grandchildren.

In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement. In addition to being an avid videographer, Januario was also an active photographer, capturing events such as Carnaval celebrations, cantoria performances, Portuguese festas and festivals, general scenes and events around the Back Central neighborhood, and other moments related to the Portuguese community of Lowell. He captured hundreds of photographs of local community members and Portuguese culture, and thanks to his passion for both videography and photography, memories and traditions from the Portuguese American community in Lowell will now be preserved for the next generations to see. Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children—Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal—and their families, including many grandchildren.

The photographs in this collection include snapshots of festivals, festas and processions, Carnaval celebrations, memorable events in Back Central, and photographs of Januario Leal himself—including photographs of his personal studio. Photographs donated with this collection that were taken after 2000 or fall outside of PADA's usual collection scope have been digitally preserved by the PADA archivists and are available for research or viewing purposes upon request. This collection is still growing. Check back for updates! Content warning: This collection contains photographic images of Mantança do Porco events, which is a Portuguese tradition that involves slaughtering and butchering a pig. No images include blood or excessive gore, but may still be distressing to users. Biographical Note Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store. In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement. In addition to being an avid videographer, Januario was also an active photographer, capturing events such as Carnaval celebrations, cantoria performances, Portuguese festas and festivals, general scenes and events around the Back Central neighborhood, and other moments related to the Portuguese community of Lowell. He captured hundreds of photographs of local community members and Portuguese culture, and thanks to his passion for both videography and photography, memories and traditions from the Portuguese American community in Lowell will now be preserved for the next generations to see. Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children—Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal—and their families, including many grandchildren.

John F. deSilva; among his activities was translating English for Portuguese members of the community, which included various issues affecting the neighborhood, including a state proposed extension of the Lowell Connector highway that threatened many homes and businesses in the “Back Central” neighborhood; in addition to his community activism and work with the church, Mr. Espinola also became involved with the Portuguese-American Center (and its soccer team), as well as the Holy Ghost Society; he remained in the shoe industry for many years, becoming a foreman and factory manager.

Most lived in the vicinity of Charles Street in the “Back Central” neighborhood, which was home to St. Anthony’s Church and a number of Portuguese social and religious societies. Among the more prominent was the Holy Ghost Society, founded in 1907, by a group of Azorean immigrants. Rev. Joaquim V. da Rosa, from the island of Pico and the first pastor of St. Anthony’s, supported the Society’s establishment. The following year Fr. Rosa performed the Solemn Sunday Mass and coronation for the first Holy Ghost Festival in the city. A large procession with a band streamed down Central Street to a public hall where an overflowing crowd enjoyed sumptuous feast and beheld the finely crafted silver crown. Over the first decade membership in the Holy Ghost Society grew. Although the annual Holy Ghost Festival, held on Pentecost Sunday, was the major event sponsored by the Society, members engaged in a variety of religious and social activities, including concerts and dances. By the mid-1910s the Holy Ghost Society had amassed sufficient funds to maintain a headquarters in the Odd Fellows Hall on Middlesex Street. In 1924, seeking a larger space for its many activities, the Society, which had incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts a year earlier, purchased over four acres of land on Village Street on the outskirts of Lowell. Over the years, the Holy Ghost grounds featured a clubhouse with a large hall, an amphitheater, a playground, and a soccer field. Although Azoreans continued to be the largest group within the Society, Portuguese from Madeira, mainland Portugal, and Brazil had become members and several served in leadership roles. Beginning in 1959, Lowell’s Holy Ghost Society adopted a common practice at other Holy Ghost Festivals in the United States, the coronation of a queen, representing the Queen Saint Isabel, and the selection of two queen’s maids, all young women between the ages of 16 and 21. In addition to the coronation, the queen and her maids were a prominent part of the procession, standing on top of a colorfully decorated float, often towed, as was the popular custom, by a new convertible automobile. In its early years, the Holy Ghost Society was led exclusively by Portuguese men, some who worked in factories and others who ran small businesses. Nonetheless, female members planned many annual activities and special events as participants in a ladies’ auxiliary. Beginning in the 1940s, however, women served as officers and presidents. The first female president, Clara (Silva) Correia, had immigrated from Graciosa, settled in Lowell in 1905, and had worked many years as a weaver in a textile mill. She was succeeded as president some years later by one of the best known members of the Society, Gladys (Mendonça) Picanso, a community activist who owned a popular hairstyling business in Lowell. The Holy Ghost Society continues to sponsor the annual Holy Ghost Festival, along with other events and charitable activities. Many of these are held at Holy Ghost Park on Village Street. But these events, whether they are concerts, dances, or sporting and recreational games, some of which include non-Portuguese participants, exhibit a distinctly Portuguese flair.

Most lived in the vicinity of Charles Street in the “Back Central” neighborhood, which was home to St. Anthony’s Church and a number of Portuguese social and religious societies. Among the more prominent was the Holy Ghost Society, founded in 1907, by a group of Azorean immigrants. Rev. Joaquim V. da Rosa, from the island of Pico and the first pastor of St. Anthony’s, supported the Society’s establishment. The following year Fr. Rosa performed the Solemn Sunday Mass and coronation for the first Holy Ghost Festival in the city. A large procession with a band streamed down Central Street to a public hall where an overflowing crowd enjoyed sumptuous feast and beheld the finely crafted silver crown. Over the first decade membership in the Holy Ghost Society grew. Although the annual Holy Ghost Festival, held on Pentecost Sunday, was the major event sponsored by the Society, members engaged in a variety of religious and social activities, including concerts and dances. By the mid-1910s the Holy Ghost Society had amassed sufficient funds to maintain a headquarters in the Odd Fellows Hall on Middlesex Street. In 1924, seeking a larger space for its many activities, the Society, which had incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts a year earlier, purchased over four acres of land on Village Street on the outskirts of Lowell. Over the years, the Holy Ghost grounds featured a clubhouse with a large hall, an amphitheater, a playground, and a soccer field. Although Azoreans continued to be the largest group within the Society, Portuguese from Madeira, mainland Portugal, and Brazil had become members and several served in leadership roles. Beginning in 1959, Lowell’s Holy Ghost Society adopted a common practice at other Holy Ghost Festivals in the United States, the coronation of a queen, representing the Queen Saint Isabel, and the selection of two queen’s maids, all young women between the ages of 16 and 21. In addition to the coronation, the queen and her maids were a prominent part of the procession, standing on top of a colorfully decorated float, often towed, as was the popular custom, by a new convertible automobile. In its early years, the Holy Ghost Society was led exclusively by Portuguese men, some who worked in factories and others who ran small businesses. Nonetheless, female members planned many annual activities and special events as participants in a ladies’ auxiliary. Beginning in the 1940s, however, women served as officers and presidents. The first female president, Clara (Silva) Correia, had immigrated from Graciosa, settled in Lowell in 1905, and had worked many years as a weaver in a textile mill. She was succeeded as president some years later by one of the best known members of the Society, Gladys (Mendonça) Picanso, a community activist who owned a popular hairstyling business in Lowell. The Holy Ghost Society continues to sponsor the annual Holy Ghost Festival, along with other events and charitable activities. Many of these are held at Holy Ghost Park on Village Street. But these events, whether they are concerts, dances, or sporting and recreational games, some of which include non-Portuguese participants, exhibit a distinctly Portuguese flair.

In its early years, the Holy Ghost Society was led exclusively by Portuguese men, some who worked in factories and others who ran small businesses. Nonetheless, female members planned many annual activities and special events as participants in a ladies’ auxiliary. Beginning in the 1940s, however, women served as officers and presidents. The first female president, Clara (Silva) Correia, had immigrated from Graciosa, settled in Lowell in 1905, and had worked many years as a weaver in a textile mill. She was succeeded as president some years later by one of the best known members of the Society, Gladys (Mendonça) Picanso, a community activist who owned a popular hairstyling business in Lowell. The Holy Ghost Society continues to sponsor the annual Holy Ghost Festival, along with other events and charitable activities. Many of these are held at Holy Ghost Park on Village Street. But these events, whether they are concerts, dances, or sporting and recreational games, some of which include non-Portuguese participants, exhibit a distinctly Portuguese flair.
