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. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. 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.

Title A name given to the resource Portuguese Benefit Society of Our Lady of Help [1904-2017] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1904-2017 Description An account of the resource This collection includes documents and other related items surrounding the history of the Portuguese Benefit Society of Our Lady of Help, the oldest Portuguese organization in Peabody, Massachusetts and one of the oldest Portuguese organizations in the United States. This collection includes scans of the organization's bylaws, meeting minutes spanning back to the organization's beginnings in 1904, lists of registered members and their membership fees, financial information as recorded by treasurers throughout the years, interactions with Portuguese businesses, records related to the Peabody Portuguese Catholic Mission, medical notes, letters, photographs of Carnaval performances and rancho folclórico groups, pictures of musical and social events hosted in the Hall, and other documentation spanning the history of the Portuguese Benefit Society. Historical Overview: The Portuguese Benefit Society of Our Lady of Help was founded on August 15th, 1904 and was recognized by the Massachusetts State Government on May 9th, 1910. 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. 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.

The club opened in 1917 and still remains open in Peabody today. This collection includes photographs and documents from the Club Luís de Camões, one of the oldest Portuguese social clubs in Peabody, Massachusetts. This collection includes photographs of the CLC band, folclórico dance troupes, Ladies' Auxiliary group, soccer teams, and officers of the club; as well as books containing meeting minutes from the General Assembly and the Board of Directors' meetings from 1960 to 2018 and other documents related to the extensive history of the Club Luís de Camões. There are over 630 membership applications and over 380 Cadastro files for the Club Luís de Camões that have been digitized by the PADA archivist. A select few have been published online in this collection. Researchers and users can view the additional digital scans upon request. Historical Overview: Information sourced from the Historic Summary of Club Luís de Camões in the 100th anniversary brochure, written by Mário Costa. Additional information has been added by the archivist. In 1917, most Portuguese immigrants lived in boarding houses, and found that their lives had become monotonus without a proper space to socialize with their fellow community members. The Portuguese immigrant community of Peabody had already outgrown the capacity of the Portuguese Benefit Society of Our Lady of Help— which had been established in 1904—and so a group of members decided to create a Portuguese social club where they could host recreational activities for the community. On June 10th, 1917, the club was formed and given a name: the Club Luís de Camões (occassionally spelled Clube or Luiz), and its first meeting was held five days later, where the club officers would be elected: President Abílio S. Bento (the records of these early meetings are inconsistent, so some name Ludvino Manuel as the first elected president), Treasurer João Correira Lobão, and Secretary José Sequeira de Sousa. As of 1967, there were only two surviving founders: Augusto Peres Gomes and Henrique Paulino. Meetings were held at 98 Tremont Street and lated moved to a house on Sprague Street, where the club remained for years. The first priority of the club was to start a library and a school, both of which they accomplished later on in the club's history. In 1930, one founder member, Alberto Cunha, organized the club's first soccer team which would be known as the "Ideal Soccer Team." In March of 1932, members wanted the club to have its own building where they could hold meetings and host events and social gatherings. Under the leadership of President Francisco P. Saraiva, the club purchases land on Collins Street for $800, though the club only had $75 to its name. Friends of the club and other community members pooled together donations as construction began on the plot of land, and the foundation was laid by volunteers. Finally, on June 10th of 1932, the new building on 10 Collins Street was inaugerated as the headquarters of the Club Luís de Camões. Peabody's Portuguese American community continued to support the club's growth, and in September of 1932, club members and the Portuguese government donated a small library of Portuguese and English books—inaugurated by the Consul General of Portugal in Boston: Dr. João Camuesas. That same month, the Club Luís de Camões was officially incorported in Massachusetts—though it would eventually be discovered that another club in Stoughton, Massachusetts had been incorporated under the same name earlier, and in 1965, the club would re-incorporate under the new name: Club Luís de Camões Peabody Institution. Many recreational and cultural groups were created by the members and directors of Club Luís de Camões, including Os Modestos (a performance variety theater group led by Francisco Saraiva); the Os Beiros, Provincias de Portugal, and Aldeias de Portugal folclórico groups; a philharmonic band which played alongside the dance troupes during their performances around Massachusetts and Rhode Island; and the Peabody CLC Soccer Team, which was founded in 1946 by brothers Alberto and Américo Lopes and went on to win multiple league championships and competitions. In 1948, under Alberto Cunha's presidency, construction was done to the building to create a new façade and increase the Club's overall capacity. By its 50th anniversary in 1967, under the leadership of Cesar Lourenco, the club had become a popular location for the new wave of Portuguese immigrants who had come to America in the 1960's and 1970's thanks to changes in the United States immigration laws. In 1974, the Club's Board of Directors appointed a cultural commission and a sports commission. The cultural commission, led by Tavares Branquinho, founded the Luis de Camões Folkloric Club, which won the Spring Festival competition in Fall River in 1975. The sports commission led by Antonio Nunes, Joaquim Cunha, Avelino Sousa, Mario Costa, José Silva, and Luis Albuquerque made a proposal in November 1974 to join the existing CLC soccer team with the Futebol Académica group from the Portuguese American War Veterans Post #1, and though the Futebol Académica group agreed, the proposal did not go through due to disagreements among the CLC and PAWV board members. Throughout the 1980's and 1990's, the Club Luís de Camões remained the central hub for social events and culture in Peabody's Portuguese American community. In 1994, CLC members Paulo Geraldes, Francisco Toste, José Cordeiro, and Paulo Correia founded the ameteur radio station Radio Group Luis de Camões de Peabody (KBlCFN), and it became an important broadcast that would link together other Portuguese communities around the world.

The club opened in 1917 and still remains open in Peabody today. This collection includes photographs and documents from the Club Luís de Camões, one of the oldest Portuguese social clubs in Peabody, Massachusetts. This collection includes photographs of the CLC band, folclórico dance troupes, Ladies' Auxiliary group, soccer teams, and officers of the club; as well as books containing meeting minutes from the General Assembly and the Board of Directors' meetings from 1960 to 2018 and other documents related to the extensive history of the Club Luís de Camões. There are over 630 membership applications and over 380 Cadastro files for the Club Luís de Camões that have been digitized by the PADA archivist. A select few have been published online in this collection. Researchers and users can view the additional digital scans upon request. Historical Overview: Information sourced from the Historic Summary of Club Luís de Camões in the 100th anniversary brochure, written by Mário Costa. Additional information has been added by the archivist. In 1917, most Portuguese immigrants lived in boarding houses, and found that their lives had become monotonus without a proper space to socialize with their fellow community members. The Portuguese immigrant community of Peabody had already outgrown the capacity of the Portuguese Benefit Society of Our Lady of Help— which had been established in 1904—and so a group of members decided to create a Portuguese social club where they could host recreational activities for the community. On June 10th, 1917, the club was formed and given a name: the Club Luís de Camões (occassionally spelled Clube or Luiz), and its first meeting was held five days later, where the club officers would be elected: President Abílio S. Bento (the records of these early meetings are inconsistent, so some name Ludvino Manuel as the first elected president), Treasurer João Correira Lobão, and Secretary José Sequeira de Sousa. As of 1967, there were only two surviving founders: Augusto Peres Gomes and Henrique Paulino. Meetings were held at 98 Tremont Street and lated moved to a house on Sprague Street, where the club remained for years. The first priority of the club was to start a library and a school, both of which they accomplished later on in the club's history. In 1930, one founder member, Alberto Cunha, organized the club's first soccer team which would be known as the "Ideal Soccer Team." In March of 1932, members wanted the club to have its own building where they could hold meetings and host events and social gatherings. Under the leadership of President Francisco P. Saraiva, the club purchases land on Collins Street for $800, though the club only had $75 to its name. Friends of the club and other community members pooled together donations as construction began on the plot of land, and the foundation was laid by volunteers. Finally, on June 10th of 1932, the new building on 10 Collins Street was inaugerated as the headquarters of the Club Luís de Camões. Peabody's Portuguese American community continued to support the club's growth, and in September of 1932, club members and the Portuguese government donated a small library of Portuguese and English books—inaugurated by the Consul General of Portugal in Boston: Dr. João Camuesas. That same month, the Club Luís de Camões was officially incorported in Massachusetts—though it would eventually be discovered that another club in Stoughton, Massachusetts had been incorporated under the same name earlier, and in 1965, the club would re-incorporate under the new name: Club Luís de Camões Peabody Institution. Many recreational and cultural groups were created by the members and directors of Club Luís de Camões, including Os Modestos (a performance variety theater group led by Francisco Saraiva); the Os Beiros, Provincias de Portugal, and Aldeias de Portugal folclórico groups; a philharmonic band which played alongside the dance troupes during their performances around Massachusetts and Rhode Island; and the Peabody CLC Soccer Team, which was founded in 1946 by brothers Alberto and Américo Lopes and went on to win multiple league championships and competitions. In 1948, under Alberto Cunha's presidency, construction was done to the building to create a new façade and increase the Club's overall capacity. By its 50th anniversary in 1967, under the leadership of Cesar Lourenco, the club had become a popular location for the new wave of Portuguese immigrants who had come to America in the 1960's and 1970's thanks to changes in the United States immigration laws. In 1974, the Club's Board of Directors appointed a cultural commission and a sports commission. The cultural commission, led by Tavares Branquinho, founded the Luis de Camões Folkloric Club, which won the Spring Festival competition in Fall River in 1975. The sports commission led by Antonio Nunes, Joaquim Cunha, Avelino Sousa, Mario Costa, José Silva, and Luis Albuquerque made a proposal in November 1974 to join the existing CLC soccer team with the Futebol Académica group from the Portuguese American War Veterans Post #1, and though the Futebol Académica group agreed, the proposal did not go through due to disagreements among the CLC and PAWV board members. Throughout the 1980's and 1990's, the Club Luís de Camões remained the central hub for social events and culture in Peabody's Portuguese American community. In 1994, CLC members Paulo Geraldes, Francisco Toste, José Cordeiro, and Paulo Correia founded the ameteur radio station Radio Group Luis de Camões de Peabody (KBlCFN), and it became an important broadcast that would link together other Portuguese communities around the world. From the early 2000's to present time, the club has continued to support the social and cultural growth and gatherings of the Portuguese American community. 10 Collins Street is home to social meetings, dinners, dances, wedding parties, birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries, shows by artists from both Portugal and the states, and other civic activities. The Club Luís de Camões celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017, and even 108 years later, it continues to be an important cornerstone of Peabody's Portuguese history.

Silva, Manuel M. Mello, John Leal and Manuel Sylvester. Today, the Portuguese Benefit Society remains a focal point of Peabody's Portuguese community.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations. This collection is still growing. Check back for updates! 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. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. 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.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations. This collection is still growing. Check back for updates! 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. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. 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.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations. This collection is still growing. Check back for updates! 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. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. 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.

Description An account of the resource This collection includes photographs that represent the life of the Silva family, a family with a mix of Azorean and Brazilian roots. Photographs include Hermenegildo playing guitar, the women at work, and other parts of everyday life. More recent photos include images of Rancho Folclórico de Santo António, the Portuguese dance group that was started in 1981 by Maria de Fatima Silva (Hermenegildo's daughter, 13 years old at the time) and Maria Guadalupe Espínola (15 years old at the time). COLLECTION OVERVIEW To understand the full immigration journey of the Silva family, the story starts in Brazil at the end of the 19th century. Manuel Correia de Melo (b. 1870) and Rita Angelica Pacheco (b. 1886) were both born in Brazil before the turn of the century. On January 15, 1910, they got married and began their life together. They had six children together and, eventually, decided to move to the island of Graciosa in the Azores. One of their daughters, Luiza Correia Pacheco de Melo (August 25, 1912-November 5, 1998), got married at the age of 16 to Eduardo Pacheco DaSilva. The newlyweds decided to move to Bahia, Brazil, where they had three children: Hermenegildo, Carmelita, and Luzia. After Eduardo died at an early age, Luiza decided to continue raising her children in Brazil. Sadly, one of her daughters passed away from tuberculosis, which prompted Luiza to move back to Graciosa with her two surviving children in 1950. One of these children was Luiza’s only son, Hermenegildo Roque Jose DaSilva (b. August 16, 1940). He was 10 years old when his mom decided to move with him and his sister back to the Azores. After the Azorean Refugee Act of 1958 was passed (in response to the Capelinhos eruption on Faial), the 19-year-old Hermenegildo decided to move to the United States in September of 1959. He originally moved to Peabody, MA, but then moved to Lowell after three months. While in Lowell, Hermenegildo worked in many local factories, including Grace Shoe, Symphonics, Joan’s Fabric, and Lawrence Manufacturing. In 1961, his mother, Luiza, decided to join him in Lowell, where she also worked at Grace Shoe. A few years later, Luiza, met and married Nuno Andrade, a painter for the Silva Brothers. Hermenegildo then decided to travel back to the Azores to ask Teresina Bettencourt (b. June 26, 1943), who he knew from his childhood growing up in Graciosa, for her hand in marriage. They got married in June of 1965 and Hermenegildo brought her back to the United States in September of the same year. They went on to have two children, Maria de Fatima and Edward. While living in Lowell, Hermenegildo was heavily involved with the local Portuguese community. He lived with his family in the Back Central neighborhood and was a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church, where he was also a member of the choir. He belonged to the Holy Ghost Society, the Portuguese American Center, the Portuguese Senior Center, and the Trinidade Society. Hermenegildo eventually switched his job to work at Raytheon, where he stayed for 38 years until his retirement. He died on December 18, 2008 of cancer.

Title A name given to the resource "Rancho Folclórico de Santo António de Lowell, Massachusetts" article Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1983 Description An account of the resource English translation: Rancho Folclórico of Saint Anthony's in Lowell, Massachusetts - USA Spokesperson for Azorean Culture It has only been in existence for two years, and has already had an international presence, the Rancho Folclorico de Santo Antonio in the city of Lowell, in the State of Massachuetts, respectively; in Canada, in Montreal and Quebec, and also at the Boston international festival, "Noite de Portugal". This rancho was born, on the initiative of two young women, named Maria de Fatima Silva and Maria Guadalupe Espinola, aged 13 and 15 respectively, who also chose the remaining members that make up the group. Azorean folklore has a strong influence in this group, from costumes to dances and songs, it demonstrates the desire to distinguish its components, and greatly honors the Azorean people. They place great value in the work of rehearsing, and another young man with ideas and spirit, Henry T. de Sousa, also an Azorean native, who is in the photo (on the right) along with the other members. The float is an integral part of the ranch, representing one of the characteristic sailing mills of the Autonomous Region of Açores.

Description An account of the resource This collection includes photographs that represent the life of the Silva family, a family with a mix of Azorean and Brazilian roots. Photographs include Hermenegildo playing guitar, the women at work, and other parts of everyday life. More recent photos include images of Rancho Folclórico de Santo António, the Portuguese dance group that was started in 1981 by Maria de Fatima Silva (Hermenegildo's daughter, 13 years old at the time) and Maria Guadalupe Espínola (15 years old at the time). COLLECTION OVERVIEW To understand the full immigration journey of the Silva family, the story starts in Brazil at the end of the 19th century. Manuel Correia de Melo (b. 1870) and Rita Angelica Pacheco (b. 1886) were both born in Brazil before the turn of the century. On January 15, 1910, they got married and began their life together. They had six children together and, eventually, decided to move to the island of Graciosa in the Azores. One of their daughters, Luiza Correia Pacheco de Melo (August 25, 1912-November 5, 1998), got married at the age of 16 to Eduardo Pacheco DaSilva. The newlyweds decided to move to Bahia, Brazil, where they had three children: Hermenegildo, Carmelita, and Luzia. After Eduardo died at an early age, Luiza decided to continue raising her children in Brazil. Sadly, one of her daughters passed away from tuberculosis, which prompted Luiza to move back to Graciosa with her two surviving children in 1950. One of these children was Luiza’s only son, Hermenegildo Roque Jose DaSilva (b. August 16, 1940). He was 10 years old when his mom decided to move with him and his sister back to the Azores. After the Azorean Refugee Act of 1958 was passed (in response to the Capelinhos eruption on Faial), the 19-year-old Hermenegildo decided to move to the United States in September of 1959. He originally moved to Peabody, MA, but then moved to Lowell after three months. While in Lowell, Hermenegildo worked in many local factories, including Grace Shoe, Symphonics, Joan’s Fabric, and Lawrence Manufacturing. In 1961, his mother, Luiza, decided to join him in Lowell, where she also worked at Grace Shoe. A few years later, Luiza, met and married Nuno Andrade, a painter for the Silva Brothers. Hermenegildo then decided to travel back to the Azores to ask Teresina Bettencourt (b. June 26, 1943), who he knew from his childhood growing up in Graciosa, for her hand in marriage. They got married in June of 1965 and Hermenegildo brought her back to the United States in September of the same year. They went on to have two children, Maria de Fatima and Edward. While living in Lowell, Hermenegildo was heavily involved with the local Portuguese community. He lived with his family in the Back Central neighborhood and was a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church, where he was also a member of the choir. He belonged to the Holy Ghost Society, the Portuguese American Center, the Portuguese Senior Center, and the Trinidade Society. Hermenegildo eventually switched his job to work at Raytheon, where he stayed for 38 years until his retirement. He died on December 18, 2008 of cancer. Still Image A static visual representation.
