                  <text>These items are part of the collection at the Lawrence History Center in Lawrence, MA. This collection reflects the organization of the local Portuguese American community from the start of the 20th century through the 1990s. Items focus on the Portuguese American Civic League, Holy Ghost Society, and Saint Peter and Paul's Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the &lt;a href="https://lawrencehistory.org/"&gt;Lawrence History Center (LHC)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Founded in 1978 as the Immigrant City Archives by German immigrant Eartha Dengler, the Lawrence History Center’s mission is to collect, preserve, share, and animate the history and heritage of Lawrence and its people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Currently in their fifth decade, LHC seeks to better serve a community that is rapidly changing due to immigration and changes in the local economy. The past few years have marked enormous growth for LHC as they move from being an organization that ‘collects and preserves’ stories of the city to one that animates these stories for current residents, researchers, and visitors to Lawrence through rich and varied programming, the strength of our collections and the power of the history of an immigrant city on the rise.&lt;/span&gt;</text>

SHRINE OF THE FISHERMEN
142 PROSPECT STREET
GLOUCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS 01930

�History of the Parish of Our Lady of Good Voyage
by Alice Rose Krueger

For three generations the Portuguese-American fleet out o' Gloucester played
a prominent part in the fishing industry of New England and the United States.
The men who manned this fleet have stood out as skilled, strong, daring, and
religious. They were men who struggled through the gales of the North Atlantic
in search of a livelihood for themselves and their families. Such a life makes a
man and his family realize with singular intensity their absolute dependence on
God for success in their work and for their safety. It was men and women of
this type who made up the parish of Our Lady of Good Voyage.
The influx of Portuguese people to Gloucester began as early as 1829. Most
of the immigrants came from the rugged Azores Islands. By 1888 Gloucester was
the home of about 200 families, one of the largest colonies of Portuguese on the
East Coast of the United States. With no church building, these Portuguese people attended the St. Ann's Church. However, when the Rev. Joseph T. deSerpa, pastor of St. John the Baptist Church of the North End, Boston, would come
to Gloucester for them, services in Portuguese were held at Pew's Hall on Howe
Street. With Fr. deSerpa's encouragement, the Portuguese community petitioned the Boston See in 1888 for the establishment of a parish to be dedicated to
Our Lady of Good Voyage. On September 27, 1889, a lot of land was purchased
on Prospect Street, just at the outskirts of the Portuguese Hill settlement. A temporary building was erected on the newly purchased land for church services.
In October 1889, Archbishop Williams of the Boston Diocese established the
parish of Our Lady of Good Voyage. On December 1, 1890, the Rev. Francisco
Viera DeBem, a newly ordained priest from Portugal, was officially appointed
the first pastor. Although Fr. DeBem arrived in Gloucester from the Azores,
he had been born in Boston, Massachusetts. When he was a mere infant, his
folks left Boston and returned to their native Azores.
To build a church was a considerable undertaking, but under the leadership
of Fr. DeBem many different small events were held in the parish to raise funds .
On November 18, 1890, a "Grand Fair" at the City Hall was opened by Mayor
William W. French. The Gloucester National Band played while the Azorian
men and women danced their colorful hoop and ribbon dances. The parish women
sold their beautiful Fayal embroideries and laces. In the summertime, outdoor
fairs and picnics were held as fund raisers. Finally, enough funds were gathered

...

•OUR LADY OF GOOD VOYAGE CHURCH'
GLOOCESTER, MASS.
-

�to begin the building of the wooden church. On July 9, 1893, the completed
church was dedicated.
The original building was a two-story white wooden structure with a single
cross-topped tower. The second floor housed the main altar. The first floor held
a slightly smaller altar and was used for children's Masses.
In 1902, Fr. DeBem officiated at a Portuguese celebration that was to become
an annual event. In October of 1900, Captain Joseph P. Mesquita and the crew
of the vessel, "Mary P. Mesquita, " had been saved from drowning when the
Cunard steamer "Saxonia" had rammed and sunk their fishing schooner in a
heavy fog on the George's Banks of Newfoundland. So incredible had been the
rescue that Captain Mesquita vowed to make the "Festival of the Crowning"
a yearly event in his parish. This festival dates back to the 14th century when
Queen Isabella of Portugal instituted the annual practice of crowning one of her
subjects imperator for a day. The occasion was marked by prayer and special
charity to the poor.
A beautiful silver crown was fashioned in Portugal and blessed by Pope Leo
XIII. It arrived in Gloucester in time for the first ceremony held in the Spring
of 1902.
Shortly after 8:30 on the morning of February 10, 1914, Elizabeth McShara,
on her way to school, noticed smoke pouring from the entrance of the church
and spread the alarm. By the time the fire department arrived, the interior of
the church was a mass of flames. Shortly after 10:30 A.M., the great wooden
cross fell from the tower and crashed through the roof. When recall was sounded at 12:20 P.M. , the church was in ruins.

The ashes of the disaster were hardly cooled when plans were being made to
rebuild. A committee headed by John Perry, with Mrs. Jennie Mitchell and
Manuel Francis, as committee members, was appointed to begin the task of raising the necessary funds. Numerous business establishments contributed to the
fund , while lodges and clubs throughout the city held benefits. The parishioners
were also aided by many individuals in the community, most notably by A. Piatt
Andrew, a leading citizen of Gloucester. He persuaded his friends, Henry Dana

�Sleeper, the interior decorator, and Mrs. Isabelle Stewart Gardner, the Boston
philanthropist, to help. Two other staunch friends of the church, James C. Farrell and his wife, Margaret Brady Farrell, added their support.

It was not long before the funds were acquired. It was decided this time that
the church structure would be of stone and modeled after churches in the Azores.
After careful study of the churches in the Islands of Pico and San Miguel of the
Azores, in the main, the lines of the new building would follow the Romanesque
Church of the Magdalena in Pico. This sort of structure was wholly foreign to
this part of the country, but it was planned with the idea of conferring to the
congregation the familiar features of the "Old Country." Fr. DeBem, having
dreamed of installing bells in the church at some time in the future, asked that
two towers be built at the front corners of the structure.
With the concept of what was wanted, a famous local architect, Halfdan M.
Hanson, drew up the plans. It would be a Spanish Mission type building with
a simple symmetrical and well-balanced exterior. The plans were accepted by
Fr. DeBem and work was begun in April of 1914.

OUR LADY

o rr

GOOO VO YAGE

�A statue of Our Lady of Good Voyage, hand-carved in Oporto, Portugal, was
donated by A. Piatt Andrew for installing on the pedestal between the two towers.
The statue was 10 feet tall and stood on a base of waves, while a halo of power
light encircled the head. A copper model of a fishing schooner was held by the
right hand.
Numerous and costly pieces of statuary were one of the distinct features of
the interior of the church and attracted much attention. Nearly all were gifts from
members of the parish or friendly outsiders who were interested in the welfare
of the church.

�The handsome altar was secured mainly by the efforts of A. Piatt Andrew,
who, with his friend Archer Huntington of New York, contributed handsomely. Mr. Andrew was also instrumental in obtaining a thousand-dollar contribution from the Carnegie Fund whereby it was possible to install the new organ.
The church was fortunate to have the services of a local artist, Joseph Nunes,
who restored some of the statuary that was recovered from the ruins of the fire.
Just a little more than one year after the calamitous fire, the new church was
dedicated on May 23, 1915.
Chance sometimes has greater influence on the course of events-and this was
the case in the aftermath of the great church fire of 1914 and the subsequent
building of the present structure in 1915. If the tragic fire had not destroyed
the original building in 1914, it is rather certain that the first tuned cast-bell
carillon in the United States would not have been in the Church of Our Lady
of Good Voyage.
When the new building was erected, the architecture included two bell towers
in the hope of fulfilling the dream of Fr. DeBem of bells for the church. The
good Father had in mind a set of 8 to 15 chime bells, popular in churches at
that time. Fortunately, perhaps, lack of money and then the advent of World
War I forestalled any installation of bells at Our Lady's.
A. Piatt Andrew had travelled in Europe before World War I and during his
visits had been exposed to the carillons of the Low Countries-Denmark and
Belgium. Accordingly, when he returned to Gloucester after the Armistice (having been one of the organizers of the American Field Service Ambulance Corps
in France), he suggested to Fr. DeBem the idea of a full chromatic set of bells
for the tower of Our Lady of Good Voyage Church.
A committee, headed by Manuel P. Domingos, and once again with the aid
of now Congressman A. Piatt Andrew, Isabelle Stewart Gardner, Henry Davis
Sleeper, and Mrs. Margaret Brady Farrell, raised funds to augment the sums
Fr. DeBem had collected over the years from his parishioners toward his dream
of the bells. The estimate of the cost of the bells and their installation was $15,000.

�By 1921, the committee had raised $13,000 and it was decided to go ahead and
order the bells, with the hope that the other $2,000 would be forthcoming in
donations.
The John Taylor &amp; Company Foundry of Loughborough, England, (the same
foundry that had cast the Liberty Bell of Philadelphia) was given the order to
cast 25 bells. As they were cast, some of the bells were engraved around their
heads with the names of those who had contributed much in money, time, and
effort in securing them.
In the middle of the anticipated realization of his dream, in April 1921, the
Rev. Francisco Viera DeBem died. The bell with his name had already been cast
and engraved. On learning of the death of the priest, the foundry inscribed "In
Memoriam" above the engraved name.
In February 1922, the bells arrived in Boston, but were promptly impounded
by the U.S. Customs Office for payment of a 40% ($4,000) tariff applicable to
musical instruments.

GEORGE A. SANDERSON,
s~tory.

Fr. DeBem had been succeeded by the Rev. Francisco G. Martins from Portugal. He appealed to the Hon. A. Piatt Andrew, who had been elected to his
first . term in Congress representing the Sixth Congressional District of
Massachusetts. He immediately drafted a bill, his very first, to admit the bells,
duty free, as works of art. Andrew's immediate predecessor from the Sixth District
was Wilfred Lufkin, now the Collector of Customs in Boston. Together, the two
men arranged to have the church designated as a bonded warehouse where the
bells could be stored until Andrew's bill passed the Congress. Two months later
President Harding signed the bill and little time was lost in completing the installation of the carillon in the north tower of the church.
On July 2, 1922, the bells were blessed by William Cardinal O'Connell, head
of the Boston See. On Sunday, July 23, 1922, the inaugural carillon recital was
played by George B. Stevens, organist of the Gloucester Independent Christian
(Universalist) Church. Monday's newspaper account placed the listening crowd
at more than 5,000 people. On Wednesday, July 26, 1922, at noon, a special
concert was played for Cardinal O'Connell, with one of his own musical compositions being rendered by Mr. Stevens.

�During the fund-raising campaign, the Hon. A. Piatt Andrew had written to
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., petitioning him for a donation. Mr. Rockefeller declined
but said the next time he was on his way to Seal Cove, Maine, in his yacht, he
would stop and visit with Mr. Andrew. He happened to visit on the same Wednesday as the Cardinal O'Connell noon concert. So Mr. Stevens was called upon
to give a second special concert at 2:00 P.M. for Mr. Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller
was so pleased with the melodious tones and fine harmony of the bells that he
gave Mr. Andrew a check for $500. This special concert in his honor influenced
the Ford tycoon to install the largest set of carillon bells in the world in the Baptist Riverside Church in New York City.
In 1923, the Taylor Foundry cast six more bells for Gloucester, bringing the
total number of bells to 31. These were installed in the bell tower in 1924.
In the summers of 1924 and 1925, A Piatt Andrew invited M . Anton Brees ,
world famous carillonneur, to be his house guest at Eastern Point and to play
the carillon at Our Lady's on Wednesday nights.
In 1925, M. Kamiel Lefevre, then assistant to Anton Brees at Mechelen
Cathedral in Belgium, was engaged to play each Wednensday night for four
months. Streets were blocked off around the church for these concerts and it
is reputed that one of M. Lefevre's concerts drew an audience of over 10,000
people. In 1927, M. Lefevre came to New York as resident carillonneur for the
Riverside Church where Rockefeller had installed his set of carillon bells, but
he continued to play summer concerts in Gloucester.
Across the street from the church, Capt. Joseph P. Mesquita lived with his
family . His daughter, Mary, was a talented pianist and she undertook to play
the carillons. She approached the clavier with some trepidation, but with a short
course in familiarization with the carillon under the tutelage of M . Brees and
M. Lefevre, she was successful and quickly became actively interested in the instrument. In her, the world, undoubtedly, had its first lady carillonneur. She
continued to play the bells for 25 years.

�The concerts were brought to an end after the summer of 1934 when funds
could no longer be raised for payment of the carillonneurs.
Throughout the early years of the bells, Miss Mesquita continued to play
regularly, even after the summer concerts by M. Lefevre were stopped. She realized that someone else should be trained to carry on the music and in 1946 Eugene
L. Alves (now Fr. Alves), one of the church's altar boys became interested. Under
her tutelage he served as carillonneur for about four years while attending high
school. When he left for college, the carillon fell into nearly complete disuse .
Now and then there was a special concert given by some guest recitalists, but
for the most part the bells were silent.
In the summer of 1955, at the invitation of Mons. Stephen E . DeMoura, Martin A. Gilman became the carillonneur for Our Lady of Good Voyage bells and
continued recitals until 1975. In 1962, Edward E. Gammons, music instructor
at the Groton School played Sunday evening summer concerts. After Mr. Gilman
stopped his concerts, once more the bronze bells became silent sentinels. In 1985,
the present pastor resumed the concerts on the traditional Wednesday nights under
the management of Rev. Claudius Nowinski, music director and organist of Our
Lady of Good Voyage Church at the time. The present resident carillonneur of
Our Lady's bells is Mrs. Marilyn Clark.
As the first pastor instituted the Portuguese Crowning Festival, so the Rt. Rev.
Stephen E. DeMoura, the third pastor of the parish, instituted the Gloucester
Blessing of the Fleet.

On Friday afternoon, May 23, 1945, a colorful religious procession, led by some
200 fishermen, marched from Our Lady of Good Voyage Church to the State
Fish Pier, where a fleet of over 20 large draggers and sundry small vessels awaited
the blessing by Archbishop Richard J. Cushing. This ceremony continued every
year under the auspices of the Portuguese fishermen for more than ten years.
The National Geographic Magazine, in its July 1953 issue, featured the Gloucester
Blessing of the Fleet since the event had gained such national acclaim. After ten
years, the Portuguese fleet had diminished to such an extent that these fishermen

�could no longer monetarily sponsor the event. However, the Italian fishermen
took over since they had become the most numerous in the Gloucester fleet.
In 1945, Mons. DeMoura had the church refurbished and the exterior statue
taken down from its pedestal between the towers and repainted. In September
1945, Richard Cardinal Cushing visited the newly renovated church and
designated it as ''The Shrine of the Fishermen.' '
In March 1950, ground was broken and a Parish Hall was built adjacent to
the rectory. It was named the "Stella Maris Hall" and on May 20, 1956, the
mortgage on the building was discharged and burned in a ceremony in the hall.

Upon the death of Mons. DeMoura, the Rev. John J. Roach became pastor.
In 1968 he authorized Roman J . Prybot, a liturgical artist, to redecorate the interior. The main altar, the altar rail, and many statues around the church were
removed, in accordance with the new Directives of Vatican II.
On May 14, 1974, due to ill health, Fr. Roach retired. On that same day, His
Eminence, Humberto Cardinal Medeiros, appointed the Rev. Eugene L. Alves
Administrator of Our Lady's parish. The following year Fr. Alves had the church
repainted in a more subdued and simple style.
In June of 1976, restoration work had to be done on the main entrance. For
years the pillars, doors and pediments (the triangular wood carvings over the
doors) had been in need of repair-victims of weather from without and worms
and dry rot from within. Local artist, Robert Nally, along with Rockport artist
and carver, Robert Lee Perry, did the restoration work.
In 1984, Fr. Alves had the exterior trim of the church repainted. At that time
the workmen found extensive decay in Our Lady of Good Voyage statue. In
December 1984, Our Lady was removed after more than 60 years on her lofty
perch. At the recommendation of Lanesville sculptor, Walker Hancock, a
polyester fiberglass reproduction was made by Robert Shure's Boston restoration firm. The new hollow, waterproof replica weighs a thousand pounds and
the colors of the statue were added to the resin so that only the gold leaf will
need to be renewed in the future.

�At their request, the salvable upper half of the old statue was given to the Cape
Ann Historical Association. It is now installed in their Fishermen's Room.
In 1%2, a former public school was acquired from the city by Mons. DeMoura
for use as a Sunday school building. The Corpus Christi Carmelite nuns came
to staff the school. A home at the top of Mr. Vernon Street, to be used as a convent, was purchased and presented to the church by Mrs. Margaret Farrell Lynch,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Farrell who had so staunchly helped in the
previous fund raisings. The Corpus Christi Carmelite nuns ended their mission
here on July 3, 1973. Then the Sisters of St. Joseph came to Our Lady's to continue the work of religious education and they have remained to this day.
The first wooden church structure had a smaller than lifesize statue of Our
Lady of Good Voyage located above the main altar. The small statue had been
carved in Oporto, Portugal. In the fire of 1914, this statue was enveloped in flames.
After the holocaust, the only distinguishable part of the statue was one charred
upright hand. Upon erection of the stucco building, two statues of Our Lady
were acquired. A lifesize statue of the Virgin Mary, holding a crowned Christ
child in one arm and a Portuguese-rigged fishing vessel in her other arm, was
handcarved by craftsmen in Oporto again. This was placed in the apex of the
altar. The second statue, a gift from A. Piatt Andrew, was a 10-foot statue of
the Virgin with a model of a Gloucester schooner cradled in her left arm, with
her right hand outstretched. This was the original statue raised between the two
guardian towers of the newly constructed church and perched on the center
pedestal for 61 years.
When the church was redecorated in 1948, the statue atop the main altar had
to be renewed. Once again a new order was sent to the craftsmen in Oporto .
When it was ready, it was put aboard the ''Gil Eannes,'' the hospital ship of
the Portuguese Navy, and accompanied by the Portuguese Ambassador to the
United States, and a bishop of the Portuguese church hierarchy, sailed for
Gloucester. When the ship docked at Gloucester, with great fanfare, the statue
was escorted to the church by the Portuguese fishermen.

�In 1949, the Portuguese Ambassador personally presented to the church a silver
model of the famous American schooner, ''Columbia.'' This was installed in the
righthand of the Virgin above the altar to replace the Portuguese-rigged model.
The parish of Our Lady of Good Voyage has had only five pastors since its
inception. The Rev. Francisco DeBem was appointed its first pastor in 1890.
He died in 1921 before the bells he had worked so hard to obtain could be installed.
In 1922, the Rev. Francisco Martins was appointed parish priest. He served
from 1922 until his death in 1944. He was acclaimed as an orator, both in Portuguese and English. In 1939, Fr. Martins celebrated his 50th anniversary to the
priesthood. At that time the Consul General of Portugal, Dr. Euclides Goulart
de Costa, awarded Fr. Martins the '' Military Order of Christ of Portugal.'' This
award is given for outstanding contributions to humanity. At the time Fr. Martins received the award, only four other Americans had ever been so distinguished.
With the death of Fr. Martins, the Rev. Stephen E. DeMoura was named the
third pastor. He had served many years of distinguished service in the nearby
cities of Salem and Peabody. In 1954, while pastor of Our Lady of Good Voyage
Church, Fr. DeMoura was elevated to the rank of Domestic Prelate by Pope Pius
XII .
Upon the death of Mons. DeMoura, in 1965, the Rev. John W. Roach was
appointed pastor. On May 14, 1974, due to ill health, Fr. Roach retired.
His Eminence, Humberto Cardinal Medeiros, then appointed the Rev. Eugene
L. Alves as Administrator and he remained as such for nine years. Just before
his death, Cardinal Medeiros appointed Fr. Alves pastor on August 1, 1983.
Our Lady of Good Voyage Church has become such a unique place of worship
due to the hard-working immigrant Portuguese community and its pastors, all
of whom had such high hopes and dreams. Their impossible dreams have been
accomplished over the years through the unending efforts of parishioners, with
the help of many friends and munificent benefactors.
The '' Shrine of the Fishermen,'' with its distinctive appearance and commanding location on the hill above the harbor, has become a Gloucester landmark
and a national mecca for tourists.

�History of the Statues of Our Lady of Good Voyage
From its inception, the Portuguese church of Gloucester has been dedicated to Our Lady of
Good Voyage, from whence it derives its name. A statue of Our Lady of Good Voyage has always
been predominant over the high altar of the church.
The first wooden-structured building had a smaller-than-life-size statue of Our Lady of Good
Voyage located above the main altar. This small statue had been carved in Oporto, Portugal, and
sent to this country. When it arrived in Boston it was escorted to Gloucester by the first pastor of
the church, Father Francisco Viera de Bern. In the church fire of 1914 this little statue was
completely enveloped in flames, the fire having started in the main altar. After the holocaust, the
only distinguishable part of the statue was one charred up-right hand.
After the fire, upon the erection of the present stucco building, modelled after a church in San
Miguel, Azores, two statues were acquired. A hand-carved one was again ordered from the expert
craftsmen of Oporto, Portugal. This was a life-size statue of the Virgin Mary holding a crowned
Christ child in one arm and a Portuguese-rigged fishing vessel in her other arm. This statue was
placed in the apex of the altar and a fitting marine mural formed a significant background.
A 20 foot statue of the Virgin, with a model of a Gloucester fishing schooner cradled in her left
arm, with her right hand outstretched, was carved in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Angelo
Lualdil, and was raised to a pedestal between the two guardian towers of the newly constructed
church. It is visible to the fishermen coming home and is illuminated at night as a beacon of
welcome to the rugged, seafarers wending their way to port in the dark of night.
The church was redecorated in 1948 and at that time the present statue atop the main altar
arrived from Portugal aboard the "Gil Eanes," the hospital ship of the Portuguese Navy. It was
escorted by the Portuguese ambassador and a bishop of the Portuguese hierarchy. This latest
statue, once again hand-carved in Oporto, Portugal, was made of Brazilian cedar and like all
carvings of Our Lady of Good Voyage, she carried a fishing vessel in one hand. During the blessing
of the fleet ceremonies, the present statue is removed from its niche above the altar and
prominently displayed in the church. Garlanded with flowers, it is later carried in religious
procession to the site of the fleet blessing.
In 1952 the church commissioned Prescott W. Baston to create a replica in miniature form of
this beloved statue, and it was given to parishioners, and many were carried in the fishing vessels
by members of the local fleet. (SML211 in the Sebastian Miniature Collectors' Guide).
The 20 foot statue of our Lady of Good Voyage remained atop the Portuguese Church for
nearly three quarters of a century and over the years water, which accumulated in the cup-shaped
waves at the statue's base, caused the lower part of the figure to deteriorate.
In the fall of 1983, inspection of the statue revealed it was no longer safe for it to remain where
it was. Shortly thereafter, the statue was removed from the twin towers to the studio of Robert
Shure where a cast for a fiberglass replica could be made and brought here.
The original statue was returned to Gloucester and is now on display, with the history of the
church and its Portuguese heritage, at the Cape Ann Historical Association, 27 Pleasant Street,
Gloucester ... hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM, till 5:00 PM.
Now, as in 1952, Sebastian Miniatures has once again been called upon and the newest
miniature by Prescott W. Baston, Jr. is a truely beautiful replica, and will serve as a fund raiser to
the church to offset the cost of the new statue.

�HISTORY OF THE PARISH OF OUR LADY
OF GOOD VOYAGE
1889 - 1964
For three generations the Portuguese American fleet out of Gloucester, Moss., ployed
a prominent port in the fishing industry of New Englond and the United States. The men
who manned this fleet hove olwoys stood out as skilled, strong, daring end religious.
They were men who struggled through the gales of the North Atlantic in search of a livelihood for themselves and their families. Such a life makes a man realize with singular
intensity their absolute dependence on God for success of their work and for their safety.
It was men of this type who built the Church of Our Lady of Good Voyage. Today their
descendants, now intermarried with ell nationalities make up a large _port of the parish.
These early settlers in Gloucester come mostly from the rugged little Azore Is lands.
The influx began as early as 1820. By 1888 Gloucester was the home of one of the largest Portuguese colonies on the East Coast of the United States.
In order that the Faith that hod long been theirs be protected, in 1888 the people of
the community here in Gloucester sought the help of Archbishop Williams of Boston. In
1889 a lot of land was purchased and the first step was token to the establishment of a
permanent parish was well underway.
Under the leadership of Rev. Francis DeBem work was begun on a permanent wooden
structure. Father DeBem was to be no stronger to construction. In 1914 he sow his
precious church destroyed by flames. A greater calamity could not come into the life of
any pastor. Undaunted he began again. Fr. DeBem was encouraged by the enthusiasm and
help of his faithful porishoners, for they too were not strangers to trials and difficulties.
It was at this time the Church that now stands over the waterfront of Gloucester was
constructed.
In this second church it was the dream of Fr. DeBem to install the first set of Carillon Bells in North America. His plans were well formed, money was collected but God
hod other plans and the completion of this unique work was left to his successor.
To carry on the work begun by Fr. DeBem, Rev. Francis Martins was appointed pastor by William Cardinal O'Connell. Fr. Martins served as pastor from 1922 till his death
in 1944. He too won the admiration and love of his porishoners. He was recognized by
all for his outstanding qualities as a priest. He was acclaimed by all as on eloquent
speaker both in Portuguese and English. In 1939 Fr. Martins celebrated his 50th Anniversary to the priesthood. At this time the Consul General of Portugal, Dr. Euclides Goulart
do Costa, awarded to Fr. Martins the ''Military Order of Christ of Portugal." This award
is giyen f,or outstanding contributions to humanity. At the time Fr. Martins received it
only four other Americans hod been thus distinguished. Fr. Mertins was characterized
at this time as "on ideal priest, a great preacher, and a guid i ng star in the spiritual
I ives of the people of Gloucester."
With the death of Fr. Martins a third pastor was named by a third Archbishop of Boston. Rev. Stephen DeMouro, ofter many years of distinguished service in the nearby city
of Solem was appointed by the then Archbishop Cushing. The foundations of the parish
hod been securely laid. It was now up to Fr. DeMouro to make the parish continue to
thrive and to progress spiritually and materially.
Fr. DeMouro sow to it that traditions remained in tact. The Crowning ceremony,
unique among the Portuguese people, was continued. Each year up to this day on Pentecost and Trinity Sunday the rich and colorful ceremony is still carried out. In recent
times it hos been mode into a religious pageant for children.
It was Fr. DeMouro who introduced the annual Blessing of the Fleet which immediately received notional prominence for the Parish and the City. He then set to work on
the redecoration of the Church both inside and out. It hos become on edifice of worship
that is worthy of the title "Notional Shrine of the Fishermen."
The need of a parish hall is always felt in on active growing parish. There is need
of a special place for groups to meet and to pion activities. There must be on adequate
place to run these activities. Most important the youth of the parish must feel that they
hove a place to recreate wholesomely. It is important that they hove contact with the
Church other than at worship. It was with these objectives in mind that Fr. DeMouro set
out to build "Stello Moris" Holl commonly called the Youth Center. It hos fulfilled all
its hopes for it is used consistently by all. It hos produced over the years boys of no
little athletic talent. It hos been the means of teaching fair ploy that will hold many in
good stead in life.
In recognition of the hard work and generosity of the people of this parish, to honor
a people who hod accomplished much in their history Pope Pius XII raised Fr. DeMouro
to the rank of Domestic Prelate in 1946. Such on honor is carried by one man. He above
all realizes that leadership is nothing without people who ore willing to follow : this
honor is not so much to the man, but to the people with whom he works.

�Building and progress were not to stop here. In 1962, another great and new step is
token in the Parish of Our Lady of Good Voyage. Finally a long cherished dream is re alized. A home is purchased and converted into a Convent. A school remodeled, sisters
of the Cormelite order come to instruct the chi IJren in the my s teries of the Faith. Th is
idea of a school of religion is a first, not only for this parish, but for the Archdiocese of
Boston. It is a work that wi II go on and on. The priests and people that were a port of
it realize that it will benefit ch i ldren and fam i lies for a long t ime to come.
As we stop to look bock over these seventy-five years it is only fitting that we offer
a Moss of thanksgiving for oil these years so richly filled with God ' s graces upon the
parish of Our Lady of Good Voyage. It is a time to thank God for oil the people who hove
been its benefactor, For without them, without their help, large and small, this parish
would not be what it is today . On this anniversary it is a time to remember oil who hove
been coiled by almighty God. But most of oil a time such as this is not a time to look
bock but to the future. It is the time to look to the promise of greater graces from God
that the years that follow will find many, many more souls coming to the kingdom of
God, they shall be lead, protected and guided through this great and difficult journey
of life through the intercession of Our Lady of Good Voyage .

�TALE OF TWO STATUES

.

Artists never tire of painting its weather-beaten whorves. Novelists , like Kipling,
have immortolized its tall and gollont mosts. But to the Catholic who ever so casually
v i s its Gloucester, Moss., it will probably be silhouetted in his memory os the seaforing
l ittle city with the two striking stotues.
The first statue almost everybody knows. People in Kentucky where the seo is only
rippling woves of blue grass, or in Kansas where it is billow ing miles of golden groin,
have seen that statue on postcards or in newsreels or even perhaps as bookends. The
original statue fittingly faces the ocean , and stands so close to the water that the windswept spume of a really blustering storm could lash this bronze fisherman's face. He
stands there in oilskins, hands gripping the helm, feet braced as on tilting deck, eyes
stra i ning to sight danger, and chin thrust out fearlessly to meet it.
This skipper is only a bronze symbol, but it is not hard to imagine his real counter part if you mingle with the men of Gloucester and listen to their salty tales. Many o man
like him has stood at the wheel up to his waist in solid woter, a foamy woke sl iding
swiftly behind him, and the grey canvas stretched obove him like the outspread grey
wings of a gull. And before him? Sometimes line ofter line of dark blue waves charging
down on the schooner like the endless reserves of the sea. Sometimes it is a fiercer onslaught still, with great hills of green, glassy water that crash upon the prow like falling walls and explode in bursts of stinging spray. Sometimes it is the silent white fog,
hanging li ke a fisherman's shroud, dripping the slow sweat of deoth.
But often it is quite calm, and the colm of the n ight is impressive almost to the point
of reverence. The gentle, swinging sea, the stars like candles on an altor, the vast,
velvet blackness oil about, the mi Ilions upon millions of tons of woter beneath, the realization that the ocean is so great and the ship so smoll - instinctively a mon's mind
begins to climb toward the unseen Power behind it all. There is no proyer book like the
sea. Its grandeur iifts you up to the Creator. Its perils send you on your knees to your
Saviour.
The other stotue in Gloucester-town carr ies this lesson further. Like the bronze
helmsman ot the wheel, it also faces the sea from a high niche between the twin blue
towers of the church of Our Lady of Good Voyage. As the fishing sh i ps slowly glide from
the superb harbor ond stand out to sea, Our Lady in this statue seems to be raising her
right hand in blessing, while cradled in the crook of her left arm she ho Ids close to her
heart the model of a full-rigged schooner. And when these ships come driving home,
keeping a cou rse west-southwest from the Grand Banks, their holds heavy with a prize
catch , the first londmork that stands out clear in the coptain's glass is that statue, and
and then Our Lady seems to be standing on tiptoe and holding up her orm in welcome.
If o fishing vessel is due to make port ot night, the copta in will send word ahead by
radio-phone so thot the statue wi II be i lluminoted and thus stand out in the dorkness like
a lighthouse of Our Lady. So science walks arm in arm with faith: the modern device of
radio and the ancient devotion to the Mother of God.
Even before these fishermen have come ashore, they will hove left port of their shore
port of the profits of the trip, in a special box for the upkeep of thot church and its
statue . And what a singular, different, colorful church it i s! The stucco facade glistens
in a soft off-white, almost the color of o sea-shell. Above, the two round towers rise in
pale blue to meet the blue of the sky. Inside , the sonctuary is a blaze of bright blue and
·gold, the blue of the seo and the gold of th e sun shimmering upon it. Panels of anchor
and rope ond water remind you that Our Blessed Lord Himself once launched out into
the deep, and chose fishermen for His first followers, and came to them walking upon
the waters.
Sounter around the church and the inscriptions tell you that this stained-glass window was given by Captain and Mrs. Brown and that by Captain and Mrs. Silva (or whatever the nom!'s moy be) and you realize that while fishermen work beyond the horizon,
fisherwives at home worry and pray.
From the choir loft you see suspended ex-voto
offer ings of model ships hung there in thanksgiving for miraculous survival through the
intercession of Our Lady of Good Voyage •
But do not think that for these fishermen religion is shut up within the walls of the
of the church. These men who go after cod can never quite forget God. One Sunday each
year the schooners and droggers, usually so practical and workaday in appearance,
blossom out in flutter ing pennants like yachts during Race Week, and poss before the
p ier in almost pious procession for the blessing of the Bishop or (more likely ) the Cardinal, Annually too there is the memorial service when girls in white frocks gently cast
garlands upon the heav ing waters , melancholy wreaths that the even ing's ebbing purple
ti de t akes out to the eternal sea, like the lost f i shermen t hey commemorate .
Bu t not jus t on Memor ial Day or Fleet Day bu t everyday the work o f these f isherm e n
(more t han most call ings ) blend with their Fa ith. Duck into the pilot hou s e of any of
thei r s h i ps, and between the compass ond the barometer you w i ll general ly f ind a miniature o f the i r hugh stotue, Our Lody of Good Voyage . To them th is is n o me re s ouven ir,
no gaudy or nam e n t . Th is is a reminder of Her to whom they pray , who se h e l p th ey s ee k
i n dang er, t heir P a tr on ess a n d t he ir Advocate before the God o f St orms .

~ JAMES C. GRE ELY FUNERAL HOME ~

�Perhaps the nearest thing to this in the lives of us landlubbers would be the medallion of St. Christopher pinned in our car. But how many drivers once they have jabbed
St. Christopher into the upholstery ever remember that he is there? How many of them,
or haw few, ever say the briefest prayer in his honor? That medal, for all the spirituality
it represents, might as well be a four-leaf clover or a Dewey button. But in the overworld of Heaven, the rule is the same as in the underworld of crime. If you want protection, you must pay. And the premium is prayer.
Does it ever seem strange to you, when you first see that statue of Our Lady of Good
Voyage, that Our Lady cradles in her arm a tiny ship? At least we recognize it as the
symbol of the protection these fishermen seek and for which they humbly and constantly
pray. But what would you think if you saw a statue of Our Lady holding in the hollow
of her arm a tiny taxi, or a ~ewing machine, or a welder's blowtorch, or a surgeon's
scalpel, or a secretary's typewriter? Would it seem pushing things a bit too far? It would
not have seemed fantastic at all in the days of the first labor unions, the Craftsmen's
Guilds of the Middle Ages. These men had banners with just such symbols, even as they
dedicated their particular trade to Our Saviour, or Our Lady, or some special Patron
Saint. But nowadays the world hos taken over the whole domain of work, and Religion
like o fugitive seeking sanctuary, has hod to take lonely refuge in the church.
But why should we not bring God into our work? If we pray to Him for our daily
bread, our work is where we earn it. The housekeeper with her mop, the bookkeeper
with his ledger con give glory to God as surely as the cloistered nun with her smoothworn beads. The man who operates o factory machine, though it be loud and whirring and
clacking, con send harmonies through Heaven as rich as pour from any cathedral organ.
Because the organ is only o thing, and what God loves is the spontaneous offering of
the human spirit!
To put ourselves in touch with Heaven we need no statue over o church nor medal
in o car. Justo prayer in the heart, o swift arrow of remembrance sent winging ;o Heaven
from our heart. And then two special things happen. First, God accepts that work as a
good work, meaning it is radiant with spiritual value and can cancel out bad works, our
sins. Secondly, our work itself grows more wholesome, more meaningful, more satisfying
because in o very real sense now our soul is in it.
They soy air-conditioning had to be invented because not even the men who designed them could open the train windows. We cannot all hope to work in air-conditioned
surroundings. But every one of us can work in o prayer-conditioned atmosphere. A 11 it
tokes is, like the bronze helmsman, keeping the wheel straight on God's course by little
thoughts lifted to Him during the working day. And all the time we shall be sa i ling on
under the outspread help of Our Lady of Good Voyage to the harbor of Heaven.

                  <text>This collection of photographs highlights the seafaring lifestyle of the Portuguese community in Gloucester, MA. In the 1800s, many Portuguese people (largely from the Azores) immigrated to Gloucester to work in the town's active fishing industry. By the 1880s, Gloucester housed the largest Portuguese population on the east coast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time, most Portuguese men worked within the fishing industry as crewmen, food processers, or ship captains. One prominent ship captain, Joseph P. Mesquita, is well known for beginning the "Blessing of the Crown" tradition at Our Lady of Good Voyage parish after his ship (the Mary P. Mesquita) was sunk in 1900. He was so grateful that all but one crewmen survived that he sent for a blessed crown to be delivered from Portugal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ships represented in this collection include the Jorgina, Harriett, Elsie G. Silva, Gil Eannes, Natalie Hammond, Mary F. Sears, Flora L. Oliver, Leonora Silveira, Edith Silveira, Adeline, Evelyn M. Goulart, Clara G. Silva, Emily Brown, Our Lady of Good Voyage, and Our Lady of Fatima.</text>

From its earliest days as a fishing and shipping port to its mid-19th century role in the granite industry, to its singular charms of light and sea that have attracted countless artists from the 19th century to the present, Cape Ann boasts a rich and varied culture of nationally significant historical, industrial, and artistic achievement. CAM's Library &amp;amp; Archives is a major resource for the study of the industrial, social, maritime and art history of Cape Ann. Its collections have been available to serious researchers and curious browsers alike since 1875.</text>

                  <text>This collection of photographs highlights the seafaring lifestyle of the Portuguese community in Gloucester, MA. In the 1800s, many Portuguese people (largely from the Azores) immigrated to Gloucester to work in the town's active fishing industry. By the 1880s, Gloucester housed the largest Portuguese population on the east coast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time, most Portuguese men worked within the fishing industry as crewmen, food processers, or ship captains. One prominent ship captain, Joseph P. Mesquita, is well known for beginning the "Blessing of the Crown" tradition at Our Lady of Good Voyage parish after his ship (the Mary P. Mesquita) was sunk in 1900. He was so grateful that all but one crewmen survived that he sent for a blessed crown to be delivered from Portugal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ships represented in this collection include the Jorgina, Harriett, Elsie G. Silva, Gil Eannes, Natalie Hammond, Mary F. Sears, Flora L. Oliver, Leonora Silveira, Edith Silveira, Adeline, Evelyn M. Goulart, Clara G. Silva, Emily Brown, Our Lady of Good Voyage, and Our Lady of Fatima.</text>

From its earliest days as a fishing and shipping port to its mid-19th century role in the granite industry, to its singular charms of light and sea that have attracted countless artists from the 19th century to the present, Cape Ann boasts a rich and varied culture of nationally significant historical, industrial, and artistic achievement. CAM's Library &amp;amp; Archives is a major resource for the study of the industrial, social, maritime and art history of Cape Ann. Its collections have been available to serious researchers and curious browsers alike since 1875.</text>
