Bibliographical Note Biography written and provided by the Arquivo Histórico do Patriarcado de Lisboa. Translation and small edits made by the PADA archivist. Additions in brackets. Bishop Henrique José Reed da Silva was born in Lisbon to Sebastião José da Silva and Elisa Maria Reed da Silva on January 19th, 1854. He was baptized on February 5th, 1854 in Lisbon's Santa Isabel parish. He attended the College of Overseas Missions in Cernache do Bonjardim. Destined for an ecclesiastical life, Bishop da Silva was ordained and, after taking the Order of the Presbyte in 1879, he left for Luanda the following year to become the secretary for the Bishop of Angola and Congo, Dom José Sebastião Neto. In this bishopric, he served as the parson of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Parish, as a chaplain for a hospital, and as a professor of humanities for the seminary. In 1881, he assumed the position of general vicar and, in 1882, he took charge of the diocesan government for a period. He also became the precentor of the See, and in 1883, attained the position of Vicar Capitular. Named the prelate of Mozambique on March 6th 1884, Bishop da Silva would eventually be elevated to the Titular Bishop of Philadelphia [of Arabia] in the consistory on the 27th of that same month. The episcopal congregation took place in the Church of Santa Catarina in Lisbon [also referred to as the Church of the Convent of Paulistas] on May 4th at the hand of the Bishop of Portalegre, Dom José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Martens. This title was made effective upon Bishop da Silva's formal entrance into Mozambique on January 1st of 1885. He was placed in charge of the government of the province and, in October, he organized the activity for the pastoral visit—having, at that time, toured Kenya and the archipelago of Tanzania. In the apostolic brief from December 1st of that year, Bishop da Silva was dismissed from the prefecture of Mozambique and named the coadjutor of the Archbishop of Goa, primate of the East. On November 25th of 1886, Bishop da Silva was named the Bishop of São Tomé de Meliapor [Mylapore] in India, and he was preconized by the Pope on March 14th of that following year. During his decade-long episcopate, he created two newspapers, established a diocese seminary, maintained a high school in Calcutta with a boarding school for girls and another that provided entry to the university, established orphanages and nursing homes for the elderly, founded a pharmaceutical laboratory that provided treatment to those in need, and ordered the construction of a neo-Gothic cathedral. Bishop da Silva turned in the miter of Mylapore in 1897 and, subsequently, the Holy See granted Bishop da Silva the title of Bishop of Trajanopolis in Phrygia in 1898. From 1907 to 1909, Bishop da Silva traveled to California, exercising his ministry among Portuguese communities. He visited Hawaii in 1908 and in 1910, continued [his travels] on to Mexico. However, it was in the year 1911 that he settled in Lowell, Massachusetts, within the archdiocese of Boston, to administer the Saint Anthony Church of the Portuguese, remaining there until 1924. He returned to Portugal in 1925, after a stay in Canada and in New York where, for health reasons, he was hospitalized in Saint Vincent’s Hospital. Afterwards, he traveled to the Eternal City [Rome] and, five years later, on October 6th of 1930, Henrique José Reed da Silva—the titular Bishop of Trajanopolis and Bishop Emeritus of São Tomé de Meliapor—passed away in Lisbon, where his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery of Prazeres in a tomb gifted by the Third Order of Saint Francis.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from the Bishop of Funchal, Manuel Agostinho Barreto to Henrique José Reed da Silva Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1887-11-14 Description An account of the resource The Bishop of Funchal congratulates Bishop da Silva on his entry into the diocese of Mylapore, which was reported in the newspapers. He wishes him well with his government and hopes he can continue the traditions of Portugal in the East. He alludes to Bishop da Silva's purchase of a new residence and thanks him for praying for him at the tomb of Saint Francis Xavier. The Bishop of Funchal claims to foresee major obstacles with the execution of the Concordat. He comments on the promptness with which the Holy See not only organized the hierarchy of India, but also structured the 21 dioceses. Regarding local matters, he describes the difficulties facing his See due to the government's delays in appointing canons, with there not even being a vicar general nor a provisor. He also addresses the issue facing his seminary, for which he has called missionaries from the continent. He states that the end of sweet cane production has contributed to the sorry state of the economy, leading to poverty in families and emigration.

Title A name given to the resource Antonio Silver Portrait and Santos Letters [circa 1863-1924] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1863-1924 circa Description An account of the resource This personal collection includes items related to Portuguese American history, originally collected by Carlos de Sousa. Here, you will find a photographic portrait of a Civil War soldier (Anthony Silva) and a group of letters (unrelated to the Civil War portrait) between the Cunha/Santos family. Further information on the Cunha/Santos Family Letters: All the letters were sent to the home of José (Joseph) da Cunha Santos in Lowell, MA between the years of 1913-1924. The letters were largely sent from José's family back on Graciosa, his home island, and were addressed to José, his wife Francisca, and his son, Joseph Cunha Santos, Jr. Santos Family Bio José (Joseph) da Cunha Santos was born in Graciosa to Antonio and Maria Santos on September 27, 1875 in Graciosa, Azores. According to the 1910 census, he immigrated to the United States in 1888 at 13 years old. It is unclear if he traveled with any family members. On April 14, 1895, he married Francisca (Frances) Santos, daughter of Manoel and Delfina, who also immigrated from Graciosa. Joseph and Frances had 5 children: Joseph Jr., Maria, Eva, Rosa, Jennie, and Anthony. The Santos family spent the majority of their time in Lowell, although they briefly made a trip back to the Azores in 1908 and stayed in Providence, R.I. for a few years (1910-1912 and 1929-1930). In Lowell, they lived at 6 Molloy's Court for many years until they were able to buy a house in 1918 at 90 West Union Street. Both Joseph and Frances worked in the mills. Their son, Joseph Cunha Santos Jr., is also the recipient of some of the letters in this collection. Joseph Jr. was born on May 29, 1898 in Lowell. He married Gabriele Pinto, the daughter of a well-known local Portuguese grocer (Frank J. Pinto). Her family immigrated from Madeira in 1904. They went on to have two daughters: Laura and Mary. Joseph Jr. worked for his father-in-law at his Gorham Street store before eventually moving on to work various jobs as a laborer. The family attended Saint Anthony's Church in Lowell.

[Wash] my hand only for the purpose of checking on the health of my friend and my friend and godson of the family who, being good to me, cannot be as happy as my wife and I, in doing so, are in good health thanks to God. Estimable compadre and comadre For this reason, I want to give you the information that I am saddened by yours, for us a lot of help, the letter in it goes that my compadre and godmother and sister and other family were in good health, it was what we most wanted to know and in general the more we were aware of the news of this land and it's always the same thing if things are getting more and more expensive, this is because of the increase in the pounds, and the pounds are increasing, everything is in the stores here for those who work during the day, the item that sells lives here too, as I opened more for those who are poorer it is very bad, especially if you don't wear a pair of cotim trousers costing 15 thousand reis and the most iron cloth costing 4 thousand reis per meter comes to compadre, how much does a sheet or shirt for a man cost and the most farms don't talk about this, which is too much of a cause, I also give my friend a tip about the piquena I had in carouse on the 20th of last month. Thanks, that's what I truse about opening my clothes, what I forgot was bringing some nanny clothes, which my old mother told me to tell my friend, I never thought that the causes are here as much as they are, as they are, that one had tradizo, more certain than I'm missing. here, but now it's a compiror, but if I ever bother, my friend, if they have doors, send me 5 pounds of money. It's no good, I'm feeding the holy spirit already or two muzes that it's to create an Ajaneiro that's coming, if God, what do I do about my compadre asking about my destination to go to America because I don't have that sense at the moment? Now as for the friend's office, I don't know if he has a landra outside or not or not because he never went to the friend's office to pick up his order but he never saw the item again so he could give it to me a few times but I never asked if he had a letter from the Compadre, compadre's brother, came to pick up his order and came the other day to bring me a sixth of the potato sack, that was the day he spoke to me about the bush and told me that this year he had few oranges and that the deal was better than leaving without I've been waiting to come and see it, but I've never been there again and told me nothing several times that my friend has been writing to me and that's what I've got to cut and he's got the wool to cut and he has to cut the sauce wool, it's serrated and wooden at 3 thousand reis. If you have a spear, it's good money and it's a shame to buy it or a bedpan, they can't live if they come here, they'll have to force good money, but in the end it's best for them If you also tell the godson that I went to my godson's house, I didn't go into the house of the godson's mother, the door was locked the other day, it was my godson's opinion that my godson did it to her and she was uncomfortable with me going there, brother, coming into hers. Casa José da Cunha Ajadi Grou the role that doesn't create Signor Veu Vivenelle now, well, my compadre's brother, I'm going to be an expert, let's go and hunt the aribeirinha cror, my godmother's brother, I also went to accompany her and it was going very well, kid, I was going to talk to her godmother to tell her the causes of the It's a good idea for us to say that I don't say anything to your uncle because Godmother I don't see to them and it's only in the past that we talk and even though I didn't have anything to tell her what's for one, not for two, he She has been very ill, she wrote a paper written by her daughter and her grandchildren here, so that she has a bigger tongue than hers, I'll give her what Geona Dre tells her, they don't write because she's poorly raised, I'm sorry for her compadre, because she's yours. relative, but I only say what I feel, whoever is hard for me speaks to my friend and the godmother to tell her certain causes that are going there, but it will be one day for today. to their compadre and godmother and children, they are at the end of their compadre and godmother who esteem them twenty Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
