Its primary purpose was to pay sick benefits to any members in the United States (or those who recently left the United States), to provide sick benefits to any members who suffer from a chronic illness in any part of the world, and to pay a death premium to any deceased member, no matter where they resided at their passing. The founding members were Antonio Chaves, Domingos S. Conde, Mateus S. Luz, Manuel S. Silva, John S. Sousa, Frank Aguiar. Manuel Matz, Manuel S. Conde, Manuel Aguiar, John S. Mathias, Jose S. Silva, Manuel M. Mello, John Leal and Manuel Sylvester.<br /><br />Today, the Portuguese Benefit Society remains a focal point of Peabody's Portuguese community. Even 120 years later, the organization continues to uphold its original mission while simultaneously creating a communal gathering space for new and old generations alike to explore and share Portuguese culture and tradition.
