PAINTING. It grew to become the largest paintingcontracting company in the area. 1940 Acquired his first of many parcels of real estate. At one time, John owned over 700 apartments, making him one of Lowell's largest property owners. 1950 Highland Painting Service was formed, giving John the biggest union, as well as non-union .painting shop in Lowell. 1950's Purchased Guilbeault's Package Store in Lowell, the first of three area liquor stores he would own. 1978 Formed SILVA BROS.

Title A name given to the resource Dimas Espinola Collection [1923-2009] Description An account of the resource These items, collected over time by Dimas Espinola, detail the Portuguese community in Lowell from the 1920s through the 2000s. Items include Holy Ghost Society documents, newspaper articles, photographs, and event posters. Biographical Note Born on the Azorean island of Terceira, in the village of Biscoitos, in 1950; Dimas Espinola immigrated with his family to the United States in the late 1960s, settling in Lowell’s “Back Central” (predominately Portuguese) neighborhood; his father, formerly a furniture maker in Biscoitos, obtained a job as a loom fixer in the Wannalancit Mills; his mother worked in a shoe factory; Mr. Espinola received his formal education in schools on Terceira and, upon arriving in Lowell, he secured a work permit and, at nearly 17 years of age, he was employed in a manufacturing job in the Paris shoe factory on Bridge Street; at the same time Mr. Espinola, a communicant at St. Anthony’s Church, began working closely with the pastor, Rev. 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.

These items are kept in the Rectory and were organized by PADA archivists in 2021.<br /><br /><strong>Historical Overview:</strong> <p><span>For over two decades beginning in the 1870s, when Portuguese immigration to Lowell began to rise, most of the city’s Portuguese Catholics worshipped at St. Peter’s Church, a largely Irish and Irish-American parish. By the late 1890s the pastor of St. Peter’s arranged for Rev. Antonio J. Pimentel, of Boston and originally from Terceira in the Azores, to hold services for the Portuguese in a hall across the street from the church. With the Portuguese population approaching 1,000, a number of influential community members, notably Manuel P. Mello (1867-1938), from Graciosa, sought to establish their own parish. Rev. John Joseph Williams, Archbishop of Boston, supported this effort. Aided by Rev. Pimentel, Mello formed a committee, and, in 1900, began raising money for a church. One year later the committee had collected sufficient funds to purchase the abandoned Primitive Methodist Church, a wood-frame building on Gorham Street, built thirty years earlier. Dedicated on May 19, 1901, St. Anthony’s Church opened with Rev. Manuel C. Terra, the well-known pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Provincetown, celebrating the first High Mass with several hundred parishioners in attendance.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In early 1902, Archbishop Williams appointed Joaquim V. Rosa as pastor at St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of Pico, Joaquim Vieira da Rosa (1872-1964) immigrated to the United States in 1896 and for several years he assisted the pastor at St. John’s Church in New Bedford. Rev. Rosa celebrated his first Mass at St. Anthony’s in January, 1902. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Soon after taking charge of St. Anthony’s, Rev. Rosa established or supported the creation of a number of parish organizations. This included the long-lived Holy Rosary Sodality and the Holy Ghost Society. In addition to his clerical duties, he also led numerous fund-raising programs. Father Rosa also ministered to Lawrence’s Portuguese and helped found that city’s Portuguese Catholic Church. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1904, Archbishop Williams assigned Rev. Paul L. Despouy to assist Father Rosa at St. Anthony’s and to lead in establishing a Portuguese parish in Lawrence. At the same time Lowell’s growing number of Portuguese parishioners strained the capacity of the old wooden structure on Gorham Street and the search for a new church began. Once again, Manuel P. Mello played a major role in raising funds. Within two years, he and other parishioners had collected enough money to acquire land on Central Street across from the Lyon Street public school. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>With the purchase of property, Boston-based architect Timothy Edward Sheehan (1866-1933), designer of a number churches for the Archdiocese, executed the design of the new St. Anthony’s. On Thanksgiving Day, 1907, Archbishop William O’Connell presided over the dedication of the laying of the cornerstone.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1908, with construction funds fully expended, only the granite walls and the floor of the basement were completed, and a flat roof was installed over the largely subterranean structure. Nevertheless, in May Father Rosa then celebrated the first Solemn High Mass. Joining him was Father Pimentel, who now led St. Anthony’s parish in Cambridge, Father Despouy, from his mission in Lawrence, and Rev. Manuel C. Terra of Provincetown. Although the rectory next to the church was finished and occupied by Father Rosa in 1908, funds to complete the construction of the highly ornate Mission-style church, following the original architectural design, remained insufficient. For the next 50 years, services continued to be held in the basement structure.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1911 Rev. Rosa, suffering from poor health and fatigue, due in part to his strenuous duties in leading his parishioners, resigned his pastorate and returned to his native Pico. In an action that proved especially fortuitous for the parish Archbishop O’Connell appointed Bishop Henrique Jose Reed da Silva (1854-1930) to lead St. Anthony’s. Bishop da Silva’s life prior to his arrival in Lowell was quite unique.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Born in Lisbon, where he was educated and ordained a priest in 1879, the charismatic Bishop da Silva, fluent in several languages and a sacred music scholar who possessed a fine musical voice, quickly caught the attention of the Bishop of Portalegre, </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Maria_da_Silva_Ferr%C3%A3o_de_Carvalho_M%C3%A1rtens&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1"><span>José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Mártens</span></a><span>. In 1884, shortly after turning 30, Rev. da Silva was appointed the prelate of Mozambique and moved to Maputo. Upon his ordination as a bishop, he assumed control of the Maputo archdiocese. Three years later Bishop da Silva took charge of the Diocese of São Tomé of Meliapore in southern India.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During the bishop’s mission, the assassination of Portugal’s King Carlos and his son, followed by the Republican revolution in 1910, resulted in Bishop da Silva becoming an expatriate. By 1911 he returned to Boston from California and accepted Archbishop O’Connell’s offer to serve as pastor at St. Anthony’s.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1916 the bishop was joined by an assistant pastor, Rev. John S. Perry from St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Father Perry, of Azorean parentage and born in Rhode Island in 1874, quickly formed a close working relationship with the bishop. Although in good health at age 62, Bishop da Silva relied heavily on Rev. Perry for regular sacramental duties and to lead the church during his frequent absences due to his duties on behalf of Cardinal O’Connell.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1924, after being away from his native Portugal for nearly 18 years, and having reached the age of 70, Bishop da Silva quietly decided to retire from St. Anthony’s, return home, and live the remainder of his days in his beloved Lisbon. In his place, Cardinal O’Connell named Rev. Joseph T. Grillo (1885-1948) as pastor of St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of </span><span>São Miguel Father </span><span>Grillo immigrated to the United States in 1899, settling in Hudson, Massachusetts.</span></p> <p><span>Under Rev. Grillo’s leadership, several affiliated organizations were revitalized. This included the Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, and the Holy Rosary and Young Ladies sodalities. He undertook the first significant renovation of the church, overseeing the installation of a terrazzo floor, a new brighter sanctuary, complete with new statuary. Father Grillo also re-established the annual day-long picnic for parishioners and their families. In addition, he promoted various church-sponsored athletic programs and teams ranging from soccer, baseball, and basketball to track and field, along with a fife and drum corps. He also intensified various fund raising initiatives including the popular penny sales.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Throughout much of his pastorate, Father Grillo had no assistant pastor except for one year in the early 1930s when Rev. </span><span>Theophilo Pedro Damiao de Oliveira, from São Miguel served in this role. Finally, in early 1937, in recognition of his devotion and many contributions to St. Anthony’s parish, Rev. Grillo was named permanent pastor by Cardinal O’Connell. During the Second World War, Father Grillo was among Lowell’s leading clergymen heading the War Fund Drive. He was also instrumental in establishing a memorial in 1943 for Private Charles Perry (Carlos Pereira), who was killed in North Africa the previous year and was the first Portuguese-American serviceman from Lowell to give his life for the nation.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In the years after World War II, Father Grillo suffered from poor health that resulted in lengthy hospital stays. In his absence, priests at St. Peter’s, who were Irish-American and spoke no Portuguese, filled in for him. Likely aware of the language difficulties this presented to his parishioners, Father Grillo contacted Bishop Giuseppe Alves Matoso of Guarda, Portugal, and requested that he send priests to New England. The Boston Archdiocese supported this initiative and in March 1947, Rev. João F. da Silva, (anglicized to John F. Silva), arrived in Lowell from Portugal to assist Father Grillo. Within a few months another priest from Portugal, Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, joined Father Silva as a second assistant pastor.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>A few months after celebrating his 25 years in the priesthood, Father Grillo’s health worsened and in November, 1948, he died at the age of 63. </span><span>Rev. John F. Silva succeeded him and began a 30-year tenure as pastor at St. Anthony’s. While Father Grillo led St. Anthony’s parish through the hard times of the Great Depression and during the difficult years of World War II, Rev. Silva assumed control of the church during a period of prosperity for many of his parishioners. In 1958, over a 1,000 attended the 50th anniversary of the church on Central Street. Held at the Lowell Auditorium, the celebration featured speeches by Senator John F. Kennedy and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers. The most significant physical change occurred in 1960 when the superstructure of the church was finally constructed. Boston architect Mario V. Caputo produced the design for St. Anthony’s modeled after a church in Colombia.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During Father Silva’s pastorate, a number of priests assisted him, including Rev. Joseph L. Capote (1949 to 1950) and Rev. Antonio Pinto (1952 to 1954). In late 1972, Rev. Eusebio Silva, a cousin of Father Silva, arrived from Portugal to serve as his assistant. Father John Silva successfully led opposition to a proposed extension of the Lowell Connector highway that would have obliterated a large part of the parish neighborhood.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1978, Father Silva retired from the priesthood and Cardinal Humberto Medeiros appointed Rev. Eusebio Silva as administrator of St. Anthony’s. When Father Eusebio assumed the pastorate of St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, Rev. Antonio Pinto was appointed interim priest. During this time, Deacon Richard Rocha also served at Saint Anthony's, starting from his ordination in May 1983. In 1990, Rev. </span><span>José S. Ferreira assumed the leadership of the church and was assisted by the Rev. Ronald Gomes. In 1995, Father Ferreira was transferred to St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, and Rev. Francis M. Glynn, the first non-Portuguese priest of the parish, became pastor. Father Glynn served during a period of a growing Brazilian community in Lowell, but also at the time of a major strike in the city at the Prince Pasta factory, which employed dozens of his parishioners. Father Glynn supported the striking workers and their families, but despite his efforts and many others, including Representative Martin Meehan and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the corporation that owned the plant shut it down. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 2004, following Father Glynn’s assignment to a parish in Waltham, Massachusetts, Rev. Charles J. Hughes, became the pastor at St. Anthony’s. Father Hughes’ tenure proved a challenging time with declining parish membership and church closures in the wake of the numerous clergy sexual abuse cases in the Archdiocese. As with many other parishes, St. Anthony’s had no connection to any of these cases; however, it shared with many other churches increasing financial struggles and a continued drop in membership. Following Father Hughes’ departure in 2016, St. Anthony’s became part of the Lowell Collaborative in which it was joined with Immaculate Conception Church and Holy Trinity Church under the leadership of Rev. Nicholas A. Sannella. This administrative arrangement remains in place with Rev. Deacon Carlos DeSousa serving as a key clergyman at St. Anthony’s. </span></p> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only: This Work has been digitized in a public-private partnership.

Grillo, Pastor of Saint Anthony's Church July 2, 1885 - Nov . 6, 1948 490 CENTRAL STREET, LOWELL There must be great re;o1cmg on the golden streets today For God has called a loved one Home, from life's tempestuous way; While here on earth we're grieving for a dearly beloved friend, Who taught us all a lesson by his courage, 'til the end. If these things make a man a Saint, patience, kindness, love, Then we know there is a special place awaiting him, above; If filling our every hour of life complete with deeds worthwhile Will gain for us eternal rest, then he'll know Mary's smile. Compliments and Good Wishes for the Success of the Convention From Descendant of a Christian race who've kept God in their soul, His was a hard and a weary task to attain a priestly goal; Yet ne'er once did he falter or weaken 'neath the load, For he knew God walked beside him as he traveled o'er life's road. All the souls that by his guidance have arrived at heavenly shores Will rejoice to see him coming into their midst, once more; While babies that he christened, now with the Cherubim Will join the heavenly chorus in a welcoming song to him. But saddened little children of Saint Anthony's today Are asking God to bless this friend, who taught them how to pray And the flowers in his garden that knew his gentle touch Will never bloom as brightly, as for him, they loved so much. Pastor, Father, beloved friend, we bid farewell to thee The saintly lessons you have taught, will live in our memory May the Lord you loved so dearly, clasp you fondly to His breast And whisper, "Beloved Joseph, you have gained eternal rest."

These items are kept in the Rectory and were organized by PADA archivists in 2021.<br /><br /><strong>Historical Overview:</strong> <p><span>For over two decades beginning in the 1870s, when Portuguese immigration to Lowell began to rise, most of the city’s Portuguese Catholics worshipped at St. Peter’s Church, a largely Irish and Irish-American parish. By the late 1890s the pastor of St. Peter’s arranged for Rev. Antonio J. Pimentel, of Boston and originally from Terceira in the Azores, to hold services for the Portuguese in a hall across the street from the church. With the Portuguese population approaching 1,000, a number of influential community members, notably Manuel P. Mello (1867-1938), from Graciosa, sought to establish their own parish. Rev. John Joseph Williams, Archbishop of Boston, supported this effort. Aided by Rev. Pimentel, Mello formed a committee, and, in 1900, began raising money for a church. One year later the committee had collected sufficient funds to purchase the abandoned Primitive Methodist Church, a wood-frame building on Gorham Street, built thirty years earlier. Dedicated on May 19, 1901, St. Anthony’s Church opened with Rev. Manuel C. Terra, the well-known pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Provincetown, celebrating the first High Mass with several hundred parishioners in attendance.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In early 1902, Archbishop Williams appointed Joaquim V. Rosa as pastor at St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of Pico, Joaquim Vieira da Rosa (1872-1964) immigrated to the United States in 1896 and for several years he assisted the pastor at St. John’s Church in New Bedford. Rev. Rosa celebrated his first Mass at St. Anthony’s in January, 1902. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Soon after taking charge of St. Anthony’s, Rev. Rosa established or supported the creation of a number of parish organizations. This included the long-lived Holy Rosary Sodality and the Holy Ghost Society. In addition to his clerical duties, he also led numerous fund-raising programs. Father Rosa also ministered to Lawrence’s Portuguese and helped found that city’s Portuguese Catholic Church. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1904, Archbishop Williams assigned Rev. Paul L. Despouy to assist Father Rosa at St. Anthony’s and to lead in establishing a Portuguese parish in Lawrence. At the same time Lowell’s growing number of Portuguese parishioners strained the capacity of the old wooden structure on Gorham Street and the search for a new church began. Once again, Manuel P. Mello played a major role in raising funds. Within two years, he and other parishioners had collected enough money to acquire land on Central Street across from the Lyon Street public school. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>With the purchase of property, Boston-based architect Timothy Edward Sheehan (1866-1933), designer of a number churches for the Archdiocese, executed the design of the new St. Anthony’s. On Thanksgiving Day, 1907, Archbishop William O’Connell presided over the dedication of the laying of the cornerstone.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1908, with construction funds fully expended, only the granite walls and the floor of the basement were completed, and a flat roof was installed over the largely subterranean structure. Nevertheless, in May Father Rosa then celebrated the first Solemn High Mass. Joining him was Father Pimentel, who now led St. Anthony’s parish in Cambridge, Father Despouy, from his mission in Lawrence, and Rev. Manuel C. Terra of Provincetown. Although the rectory next to the church was finished and occupied by Father Rosa in 1908, funds to complete the construction of the highly ornate Mission-style church, following the original architectural design, remained insufficient. For the next 50 years, services continued to be held in the basement structure.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1911 Rev. Rosa, suffering from poor health and fatigue, due in part to his strenuous duties in leading his parishioners, resigned his pastorate and returned to his native Pico. In an action that proved especially fortuitous for the parish Archbishop O’Connell appointed Bishop Henrique Jose Reed da Silva (1854-1930) to lead St. Anthony’s. Bishop da Silva’s life prior to his arrival in Lowell was quite unique.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Born in Lisbon, where he was educated and ordained a priest in 1879, the charismatic Bishop da Silva, fluent in several languages and a sacred music scholar who possessed a fine musical voice, quickly caught the attention of the Bishop of Portalegre, </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Maria_da_Silva_Ferr%C3%A3o_de_Carvalho_M%C3%A1rtens&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1"><span>José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Mártens</span></a><span>. In 1884, shortly after turning 30, Rev. da Silva was appointed the prelate of Mozambique and moved to Maputo. Upon his ordination as a bishop, he assumed control of the Maputo archdiocese. Three years later Bishop da Silva took charge of the Diocese of São Tomé of Meliapore in southern India.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During the bishop’s mission, the assassination of Portugal’s King Carlos and his son, followed by the Republican revolution in 1910, resulted in Bishop da Silva becoming an expatriate. By 1911 he returned to Boston from California and accepted Archbishop O’Connell’s offer to serve as pastor at St. Anthony’s.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1916 the bishop was joined by an assistant pastor, Rev. John S. Perry from St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Father Perry, of Azorean parentage and born in Rhode Island in 1874, quickly formed a close working relationship with the bishop. Although in good health at age 62, Bishop da Silva relied heavily on Rev. Perry for regular sacramental duties and to lead the church during his frequent absences due to his duties on behalf of Cardinal O’Connell.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1924, after being away from his native Portugal for nearly 18 years, and having reached the age of 70, Bishop da Silva quietly decided to retire from St. Anthony’s, return home, and live the remainder of his days in his beloved Lisbon. In his place, Cardinal O’Connell named Rev. Joseph T. Grillo (1885-1948) as pastor of St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of </span><span>São Miguel Father </span><span>Grillo immigrated to the United States in 1899, settling in Hudson, Massachusetts.</span></p> <p><span>Under Rev. Grillo’s leadership, several affiliated organizations were revitalized. This included the Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, and the Holy Rosary and Young Ladies sodalities. He undertook the first significant renovation of the church, overseeing the installation of a terrazzo floor, a new brighter sanctuary, complete with new statuary. Father Grillo also re-established the annual day-long picnic for parishioners and their families. In addition, he promoted various church-sponsored athletic programs and teams ranging from soccer, baseball, and basketball to track and field, along with a fife and drum corps. He also intensified various fund raising initiatives including the popular penny sales.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Throughout much of his pastorate, Father Grillo had no assistant pastor except for one year in the early 1930s when Rev. </span><span>Theophilo Pedro Damiao de Oliveira, from São Miguel served in this role. Finally, in early 1937, in recognition of his devotion and many contributions to St. Anthony’s parish, Rev. Grillo was named permanent pastor by Cardinal O’Connell. During the Second World War, Father Grillo was among Lowell’s leading clergymen heading the War Fund Drive. He was also instrumental in establishing a memorial in 1943 for Private Charles Perry (Carlos Pereira), who was killed in North Africa the previous year and was the first Portuguese-American serviceman from Lowell to give his life for the nation.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In the years after World War II, Father Grillo suffered from poor health that resulted in lengthy hospital stays. In his absence, priests at St. Peter’s, who were Irish-American and spoke no Portuguese, filled in for him. Likely aware of the language difficulties this presented to his parishioners, Father Grillo contacted Bishop Giuseppe Alves Matoso of Guarda, Portugal, and requested that he send priests to New England. The Boston Archdiocese supported this initiative and in March 1947, Rev. João F. da Silva, (anglicized to John F. Silva), arrived in Lowell from Portugal to assist Father Grillo. Within a few months another priest from Portugal, Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, joined Father Silva as a second assistant pastor.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>A few months after celebrating his 25 years in the priesthood, Father Grillo’s health worsened and in November, 1948, he died at the age of 63. </span><span>Rev. John F. Silva succeeded him and began a 30-year tenure as pastor at St. Anthony’s. While Father Grillo led St. Anthony’s parish through the hard times of the Great Depression and during the difficult years of World War II, Rev. Silva assumed control of the church during a period of prosperity for many of his parishioners. In 1958, over a 1,000 attended the 50th anniversary of the church on Central Street. Held at the Lowell Auditorium, the celebration featured speeches by Senator John F. Kennedy and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers. The most significant physical change occurred in 1960 when the superstructure of the church was finally constructed. Boston architect Mario V. Caputo produced the design for St. Anthony’s modeled after a church in Colombia.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During Father Silva’s pastorate, a number of priests assisted him, including Rev. Joseph L. Capote (1949 to 1950) and Rev. Antonio Pinto (1952 to 1954). In late 1972, Rev. Eusebio Silva, a cousin of Father Silva, arrived from Portugal to serve as his assistant. Father John Silva successfully led opposition to a proposed extension of the Lowell Connector highway that would have obliterated a large part of the parish neighborhood.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1978, Father Silva retired from the priesthood and Cardinal Humberto Medeiros appointed Rev. Eusebio Silva as administrator of St. Anthony’s. When Father Eusebio assumed the pastorate of St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, Rev. Antonio Pinto was appointed interim priest. During this time, Deacon Richard Rocha also served at Saint Anthony's, starting from his ordination in May 1983. In 1990, Rev. </span><span>José S. Ferreira assumed the leadership of the church and was assisted by the Rev. Ronald Gomes. In 1995, Father Ferreira was transferred to St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, and Rev. Francis M. Glynn, the first non-Portuguese priest of the parish, became pastor. Father Glynn served during a period of a growing Brazilian community in Lowell, but also at the time of a major strike in the city at the Prince Pasta factory, which employed dozens of his parishioners. Father Glynn supported the striking workers and their families, but despite his efforts and many others, including Representative Martin Meehan and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the corporation that owned the plant shut it down. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 2004, following Father Glynn’s assignment to a parish in Waltham, Massachusetts, Rev. Charles J. Hughes, became the pastor at St. Anthony’s. Father Hughes’ tenure proved a challenging time with declining parish membership and church closures in the wake of the numerous clergy sexual abuse cases in the Archdiocese. As with many other parishes, St. Anthony’s had no connection to any of these cases; however, it shared with many other churches increasing financial struggles and a continued drop in membership. Following Father Hughes’ departure in 2016, St. Anthony’s became part of the Lowell Collaborative in which it was joined with Immaculate Conception Church and Holy Trinity Church under the leadership of Rev. Nicholas A. Sannella. This administrative arrangement remains in place with Rev. Deacon Carlos DeSousa serving as a key clergyman at St. Anthony’s. </span></p> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only: This Work has been digitized in a public-private partnership.

Anthony J. Pimentel, then of Boston, now of East Cambridge. Our first church of Saint Anthony was dedicated on May 19, 1901. It was located at the corner of Gorham and Congress Streets. WISHES from New Bedford Men's Council In January, 1902, Rev. Joaquim V. Rosa came as our first pastor. Under his hard work the present St. Anthony's Church was dedicated to God, on May 30, 1908. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Henrique J. R. da Silva succeeded Fr. Rosa in 1911. Portuguese-American Civic League Since July 2, 1924 our Parish has been under the care of our present Pastor, Rev. Joseph T. T. Grillo. Under his watchful care the embellishment of the Church and its surroundings became a real fact as also Saint Anthony's momument, commemorating the seventh centenary Jubilee of our Patron. Sodalities of the church include Daughters of Mary, St. Vincent de Paul, Holy Name, Holy Rosary, Drum Corps, Mothers' Aid. !

By the late 1890s the pastor of St. Peter’s arranged for Rev. Antonio J. Pimentel, of Boston and originally from Terceira in the Azores, to hold services for the Portuguese in a hall across the street from the church. With the Portuguese population approaching 1,000, a number of influential community members, notably Manuel P. Mello (1867-1938), from Graciosa, sought to establish their own parish. Rev. John Joseph Williams, Archbishop of Boston, supported this effort. Aided by Rev. Pimentel, Mello formed a committee, and, in 1900, began raising money for a church. One year later the committee had collected sufficient funds to purchase the abandoned Primitive Methodist Church, a wood-frame building on Gorham Street, built thirty years earlier. Dedicated on May 19, 1901, St. Anthony’s Church opened with Rev. Manuel C. Terra, the well-known pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Provincetown, celebrating the first High Mass with several hundred parishioners in attendance.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In early 1902, Archbishop Williams appointed Joaquim V. Rosa as pastor at St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of Pico, Joaquim Vieira da Rosa (1872-1964) immigrated to the United States in 1896 and for several years he assisted the pastor at St. John’s Church in New Bedford. Rev. Rosa celebrated his first Mass at St. Anthony’s in January, 1902. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Soon after taking charge of St. Anthony’s, Rev. Rosa established or supported the creation of a number of parish organizations. This included the long-lived Holy Rosary Sodality and the Holy Ghost Society. In addition to his clerical duties, he also led numerous fund-raising programs. Father Rosa also ministered to Lawrence’s Portuguese and helped found that city’s Portuguese Catholic Church. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1904, Archbishop Williams assigned Rev. Paul L. Despouy to assist Father Rosa at St. Anthony’s and to lead in establishing a Portuguese parish in Lawrence. At the same time Lowell’s growing number of Portuguese parishioners strained the capacity of the old wooden structure on Gorham Street and the search for a new church began. Once again, Manuel P. Mello played a major role in raising funds. Within two years, he and other parishioners had collected enough money to acquire land on Central Street across from the Lyon Street public school. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>With the purchase of property, Boston-based architect Timothy Edward Sheehan (1866-1933), designer of a number churches for the Archdiocese, executed the design of the new St. Anthony’s. On Thanksgiving Day, 1907, Archbishop William O’Connell presided over the dedication of the laying of the cornerstone.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1908, with construction funds fully expended, only the granite walls and the floor of the basement were completed, and a flat roof was installed over the largely subterranean structure. Nevertheless, in May Father Rosa then celebrated the first Solemn High Mass. Joining him was Father Pimentel, who now led St. Anthony’s parish in Cambridge, Father Despouy, from his mission in Lawrence, and Rev. Manuel C. Terra of Provincetown. Although the rectory next to the church was finished and occupied by Father Rosa in 1908, funds to complete the construction of the highly ornate Mission-style church, following the original architectural design, remained insufficient. For the next 50 years, services continued to be held in the basement structure.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1911 Rev. Rosa, suffering from poor health and fatigue, due in part to his strenuous duties in leading his parishioners, resigned his pastorate and returned to his native Pico. In an action that proved especially fortuitous for the parish Archbishop O’Connell appointed Bishop Henrique Jose Reed da Silva (1854-1930) to lead St. Anthony’s. Bishop da Silva’s life prior to his arrival in Lowell was quite unique.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Born in Lisbon, where he was educated and ordained a priest in 1879, the charismatic Bishop da Silva, fluent in several languages and a sacred music scholar who possessed a fine musical voice, quickly caught the attention of the Bishop of Portalegre, </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Maria_da_Silva_Ferr%C3%A3o_de_Carvalho_M%C3%A1rtens&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1"><span>José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Mártens</span></a><span>. In 1884, shortly after turning 30, Rev. da Silva was appointed the prelate of Mozambique and moved to Maputo. Upon his ordination as a bishop, he assumed control of the Maputo archdiocese. Three years later Bishop da Silva took charge of the Diocese of São Tomé of Meliapore in southern India.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During the bishop’s mission, the assassination of Portugal’s King Carlos and his son, followed by the Republican revolution in 1910, resulted in Bishop da Silva becoming an expatriate. By 1911 he returned to Boston from California and accepted Archbishop O’Connell’s offer to serve as pastor at St. Anthony’s.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1916 the bishop was joined by an assistant pastor, Rev. John S. Perry from St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Father Perry, of Azorean parentage and born in Rhode Island in 1874, quickly formed a close working relationship with the bishop. Although in good health at age 62, Bishop da Silva relied heavily on Rev. Perry for regular sacramental duties and to lead the church during his frequent absences due to his duties on behalf of Cardinal O’Connell.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1924, after being away from his native Portugal for nearly 18 years, and having reached the age of 70, Bishop da Silva quietly decided to retire from St. Anthony’s, return home, and live the remainder of his days in his beloved Lisbon. In his place, Cardinal O’Connell named Rev. Joseph T. Grillo (1885-1948) as pastor of St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of </span><span>São Miguel Father </span><span>Grillo immigrated to the United States in 1899, settling in Hudson, Massachusetts.</span></p> <p><span>Under Rev. Grillo’s leadership, several affiliated organizations were revitalized. This included the Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, and the Holy Rosary and Young Ladies sodalities. He undertook the first significant renovation of the church, overseeing the installation of a terrazzo floor, a new brighter sanctuary, complete with new statuary. Father Grillo also re-established the annual day-long picnic for parishioners and their families. In addition, he promoted various church-sponsored athletic programs and teams ranging from soccer, baseball, and basketball to track and field, along with a fife and drum corps. He also intensified various fund raising initiatives including the popular penny sales.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Throughout much of his pastorate, Father Grillo had no assistant pastor except for one year in the early 1930s when Rev. </span><span>Theophilo Pedro Damiao de Oliveira, from São Miguel served in this role. Finally, in early 1937, in recognition of his devotion and many contributions to St. Anthony’s parish, Rev. Grillo was named permanent pastor by Cardinal O’Connell. During the Second World War, Father Grillo was among Lowell’s leading clergymen heading the War Fund Drive. He was also instrumental in establishing a memorial in 1943 for Private Charles Perry (Carlos Pereira), who was killed in North Africa the previous year and was the first Portuguese-American serviceman from Lowell to give his life for the nation.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In the years after World War II, Father Grillo suffered from poor health that resulted in lengthy hospital stays. In his absence, priests at St. Peter’s, who were Irish-American and spoke no Portuguese, filled in for him. Likely aware of the language difficulties this presented to his parishioners, Father Grillo contacted Bishop Giuseppe Alves Matoso of Guarda, Portugal, and requested that he send priests to New England. The Boston Archdiocese supported this initiative and in March 1947, Rev. João F. da Silva, (anglicized to John F. Silva), arrived in Lowell from Portugal to assist Father Grillo. Within a few months another priest from Portugal, Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, joined Father Silva as a second assistant pastor.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>A few months after celebrating his 25 years in the priesthood, Father Grillo’s health worsened and in November, 1948, he died at the age of 63. </span><span>Rev. John F. Silva succeeded him and began a 30-year tenure as pastor at St. Anthony’s. While Father Grillo led St. Anthony’s parish through the hard times of the Great Depression and during the difficult years of World War II, Rev. Silva assumed control of the church during a period of prosperity for many of his parishioners. In 1958, over a 1,000 attended the 50th anniversary of the church on Central Street. Held at the Lowell Auditorium, the celebration featured speeches by Senator John F. Kennedy and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers. The most significant physical change occurred in 1960 when the superstructure of the church was finally constructed. Boston architect Mario V. Caputo produced the design for St. Anthony’s modeled after a church in Colombia.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During Father Silva’s pastorate, a number of priests assisted him, including Rev. Joseph L. Capote (1949 to 1950) and Rev. Antonio Pinto (1952 to 1954). In late 1972, Rev. Eusebio Silva, a cousin of Father Silva, arrived from Portugal to serve as his assistant. Father John Silva successfully led opposition to a proposed extension of the Lowell Connector highway that would have obliterated a large part of the parish neighborhood.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1978, Father Silva retired from the priesthood and Cardinal Humberto Medeiros appointed Rev. Eusebio Silva as administrator of St. Anthony’s. When Father Eusebio assumed the pastorate of St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, Rev. Antonio Pinto was appointed interim priest. During this time, Deacon Richard Rocha also served at Saint Anthony's, starting from his ordination in May 1983. In 1990, Rev. </span><span>José S. Ferreira assumed the leadership of the church and was assisted by the Rev. Ronald Gomes. In 1995, Father Ferreira was transferred to St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, and Rev. Francis M. Glynn, the first non-Portuguese priest of the parish, became pastor. Father Glynn served during a period of a growing Brazilian community in Lowell, but also at the time of a major strike in the city at the Prince Pasta factory, which employed dozens of his parishioners. Father Glynn supported the striking workers and their families, but despite his efforts and many others, including Representative Martin Meehan and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the corporation that owned the plant shut it down. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 2004, following Father Glynn’s assignment to a parish in Waltham, Massachusetts, Rev. Charles J. Hughes, became the pastor at St. Anthony’s. Father Hughes’ tenure proved a challenging time with declining parish membership and church closures in the wake of the numerous clergy sexual abuse cases in the Archdiocese. As with many other parishes, St. Anthony’s had no connection to any of these cases; however, it shared with many other churches increasing financial struggles and a continued drop in membership. Following Father Hughes’ departure in 2016, St. Anthony’s became part of the Lowell Collaborative in which it was joined with Immaculate Conception Church and Holy Trinity Church under the leadership of Rev. Nicholas A. Sannella. This administrative arrangement remains in place with Rev. Deacon Carlos DeSousa serving as a key clergyman at St. Anthony’s. </span></p> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only: This Work has been digitized in a public-private partnership.

A sua fama omo um dos centros industriais principais do mundo atrai-os aqui a procura de uma oportunidade para uma melhor vida para eles e para os seus entes queridos. 0 primeiro desejo desta comunidade foi construir a sua Igreja. Em Janeiro de 1901, um grupo de homens de I cou-se a Cambridge para falar com o Reverendo Antonio J. Pimental, que tinha sido enviado para la pelo Bis po de Angra, A9ores, para trabalhar com os imigrantes portugueses, e com as autoridades da diocese para pedir o estabelecimento de uma paroquia em Lowell para servir a comunidade portuguesa. As primeiras reunioes em Lowell com o Padre Pimental tiveram lugar no Salao da Igreja de Sao Pedro, durante os meses de Fevereiro e Mar90 de 1901, 0 Salao de "Odd Fellows" foi usado ate Abril e, em Maio de 1901, a primeira Igreja foi dedicada. Era uma pequena casa de madeira na esquina das ruas Congress e Gorham comprada a um grupo Metodista. Nessa altura o numero de paroquianos era de 950. Em 1901 o Reverendo Joaquim V. Rosa chegou da ilha do Pico, A9ores e foi nomeado o seu primeiro paroco. A ele se juntou, em 1905, o Reverendo Paul Despouy que o ajudou ate 1907. 0 Padre Despouy era de origem Francesa mas falava Portugues fluentemente, tinha passado muitos anos em Portugal, onde o seu pai tinha servido como Diplomata. A pequena constru9ao continuou a servir como igreja ate 1907, quando a continua imigra9ao de Portugueses requereu a constru9ao de uma igreja maior. Sob a lideran9a do Padre Rosa, foram angariados fundos na comunidade Portuguesa, com esta finalidade. Comprou-se terra na "Central Street" e a pedra angular foi aben9oada pelo Arcebispo William O'Connell, em Novembro de 1907. Embora apenas o andar terreo do desenho original estivesse na altura terminado, a igreja foi oficialmente dedicada em 30 de Maio de 1908. Em 1911 o Padre Rosa voltou para o Pico, deixando a igreja nas maos de sua Excelencia, o Bispo Jose Reed da Silva, nativo de Portugal, que tinha chegado para dedicar uma nova igreja Portuguesa em Fall River. Durante este tempo desenvolveu-se uma crise no governo Portugues que atrazou a partida do Bispo ate 1924, completando 13 anos como paroco. Entretanto, o Padre John S. Perry serviu como seu assistente desde o ano de 1916 ate 1923. Em Outubro de 1923, o Padre Jose T. Grilo, nativo de Sao Miguel, A9ores, foi nomeado para a paroquia, que serviu ate a sua morte em 1948. Sob a sua direc9ao, o debito original foi pago e o andar terreo foi terminado. Durante os anos de 1933 a 1935, ele foi ajudado pelo Padre Teofilo Oliveira. Quando o Padre Grilo ficou gravemente doente, em 1946, o receio que a lingua Portuguesa deixasse de se falar na sua querida igreja, levou-o a escrever ao Bispo de Guarda, Portugal, implorando-lhe o envio de um ou mais padres para este pafs. Em resposta ao seu pedido, o Padre Joao F. Silva chegou em Mar90 de 1947. Em Outubro do mesmo ano juntou-se-lhe o Padre Manuel J. Cascais, ja falecido, que mais tarde veio a ser Paroco da paroquia de Santo Antonio em Cambridge. Pela morte do Padre Grilo em 6 de Novembro de 1948, o Arcebispo Cushing nomeou o Padre Silva paroco da igreja de Santo Antonio, ate a sua reforma, devido a doen9a, em 2 de Abril de 1978. Sob a lideran9a do Padre Silva, a igreja passou por transforma9ao completa. Do andar terreo da estrutura original foi construfdo a bonita igreja moderna que existe ate hoje, como um tributo a sua dedica9ao e a da comunidade Portuguesa de Lowell. Durante o seu servi90, o Padre Silva foi assistido pelo Reverendo Jose L. Capote de 1949 a Setembro de 1950, e pelo Padre Antonio Pinto de Junho de 1952 a Fevereiro de 1954. Em Novembro de 1972, o Padre Eusebio Silva veio de Portugal para servir com o Padre Joao Silva. Depois do Reverendo Joao Silva sair, em 1978, sua Eminencia o Cardeal Humberto Medeiros nomeou o Padre Eusebio Silva como paroco. Durante este tempo, centenas de fanu1ias juntaram-se a nossa par6quia devido ao aumento das cotas de imigra9ao. Em Janeiro de 1989, o Padre Eusebio Silva foi transferido para Santo Antonio, em Cambridge. 0 Reverendo Antonio Pinto, um Padre Vicentino, foi nomeado Paroco, sendo entao assistido pelo Padre Ronaldo Gomes que se manteve na Par6quia ate ao Verao de 1994. Em 1991 o Padre Pinto voltou a sua Ordem Religiosa em Portugal. Em Julho desse ano, sua Eminencia o Cardeal Bernard Law apontou o Reverendo Jose S. Ferreira como novo paroco. Sob a sua direc9ao e com o significante suporte financeiro de John Silva (Silva Brothers), a igreja passou por renova96es substanciais que envolveram principalmente o santuario. A pedra do Altar original foi usada para fazer o novo Altar, o Ambao ea torre do Sacrario. Um quarto para confissoes foi tambem acrescentado. O treino de Ministros Liturgicos come9ou com membros da Paroquia de Santo Antonio que abra9aram a oportunidade de serem ministros de Jesus durante a Eucaristia e, depois da Missa aos paroquianos doentes ou confinados a suas casas. 0 Cursilho e Retiros de jovens "Emmaus" e "Peace" foram trazidos para a Paroquia de Sto. Antonio e outras paroquias Portuguesas. 0 relatorio da Visita Episcopal de 1993, mostrou a preocupa9ao de cada vez mais paroquianos estarem saindo da vizinhan9a da "Back Central'; para os suburbios e a necessidade de servi9os bilingues para quase todas as actividades paroquiais. O Padre Ferreira continuou como Paroco ate Agosto de 1995, quando foi transferido para Sto. Antonio em Cambridge e o Reverendo Francis M. Glynn sucedeu-lhe como Paroco. Mantendo o cometimento de servir a comunidade de lingua portuguesa, as festas da Nossa Senhora de Fatima, o Bodo das Sete Marias e as festas de Sao Joao foram acrescentadas ao calendario da Igreja. Num esfor90 para preservar a cultura Portuguesa dentro da direc9ao da paroquia, o Padre Glynn contratou o nosso primeiro Associado Pastoral, o Sr. Victor Melo, membro devoto da comuniadade. Em 1999, o Reverendo Pedro Damazio, padre brasileiro enviado para servir o numero crescente de imigrantes Brasileiros, passou a morar na Reitoria da nossa Par6quia. Sob a orienta9ao do Padre Glynn, a Paroquia de Santo Antonio come9ou a oferecer o Rito de Inicia9ao Crista para Adultos no Outono de 1999. O nosso primeiro catecumeno foi iniciado na lgreja Catolica durante a Vigflia Pascal, na Primavera do ano 2000. Grande advogado da participa9ao dos Leigos nos ministerios da Igreja, o Padre Glynn tern suportado a Forma9ao de Fe dos Adultos, encorajando muitos paroquianos a participar nos programas arquidiocesanos de treino de leigos. 0 Cardeal Bernard Law, na Convoca9ao da Arquidiocese para Lfderes Paroquiais, em Mar90 do ano 2001, louvou a Paroquia de Santo Antonio como sendo a Paroquia mimero um no suporte e forma9ao de ministros leigos. Com 100 anos de idade, a Paroquia de Santo Antonio continua sendo a maior e a mais antiga paroquia nacional da cidade de Lowell. Seis outras paroquias etnicas foram estabelecidas durante este seculo. Ate a data, duas foram fechadas, tres outras oferecem uma Missa na lingua nativa para uma mao cheia de paroquianos e uma outra delas tern apenas tres anos de idade. A comunidade Portuguesa da Paroquia de Santo Antonio continua mantendo a sua rica cultura e heran9a Catolicas sob a direc9ao de muitos e maravilhosos membros do clero e dedicados paroquianos que construiram e mantem a nossa Igreja. �r Rev.

These items are kept in the Rectory and were organized by PADA archivists in 2021.<br /><br /><strong>Historical Overview:</strong> <p><span>For over two decades beginning in the 1870s, when Portuguese immigration to Lowell began to rise, most of the city’s Portuguese Catholics worshipped at St. Peter’s Church, a largely Irish and Irish-American parish. By the late 1890s the pastor of St. Peter’s arranged for Rev. Antonio J. Pimentel, of Boston and originally from Terceira in the Azores, to hold services for the Portuguese in a hall across the street from the church. With the Portuguese population approaching 1,000, a number of influential community members, notably Manuel P. Mello (1867-1938), from Graciosa, sought to establish their own parish. Rev. John Joseph Williams, Archbishop of Boston, supported this effort. Aided by Rev. Pimentel, Mello formed a committee, and, in 1900, began raising money for a church. One year later the committee had collected sufficient funds to purchase the abandoned Primitive Methodist Church, a wood-frame building on Gorham Street, built thirty years earlier. Dedicated on May 19, 1901, St. Anthony’s Church opened with Rev. Manuel C. Terra, the well-known pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Provincetown, celebrating the first High Mass with several hundred parishioners in attendance.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In early 1902, Archbishop Williams appointed Joaquim V. Rosa as pastor at St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of Pico, Joaquim Vieira da Rosa (1872-1964) immigrated to the United States in 1896 and for several years he assisted the pastor at St. John’s Church in New Bedford. Rev. Rosa celebrated his first Mass at St. Anthony’s in January, 1902. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Soon after taking charge of St. Anthony’s, Rev. Rosa established or supported the creation of a number of parish organizations. This included the long-lived Holy Rosary Sodality and the Holy Ghost Society. In addition to his clerical duties, he also led numerous fund-raising programs. Father Rosa also ministered to Lawrence’s Portuguese and helped found that city’s Portuguese Catholic Church. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1904, Archbishop Williams assigned Rev. Paul L. Despouy to assist Father Rosa at St. Anthony’s and to lead in establishing a Portuguese parish in Lawrence. At the same time Lowell’s growing number of Portuguese parishioners strained the capacity of the old wooden structure on Gorham Street and the search for a new church began. Once again, Manuel P. Mello played a major role in raising funds. Within two years, he and other parishioners had collected enough money to acquire land on Central Street across from the Lyon Street public school. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>With the purchase of property, Boston-based architect Timothy Edward Sheehan (1866-1933), designer of a number churches for the Archdiocese, executed the design of the new St. Anthony’s. On Thanksgiving Day, 1907, Archbishop William O’Connell presided over the dedication of the laying of the cornerstone.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1908, with construction funds fully expended, only the granite walls and the floor of the basement were completed, and a flat roof was installed over the largely subterranean structure. Nevertheless, in May Father Rosa then celebrated the first Solemn High Mass. Joining him was Father Pimentel, who now led St. Anthony’s parish in Cambridge, Father Despouy, from his mission in Lawrence, and Rev. Manuel C. Terra of Provincetown. Although the rectory next to the church was finished and occupied by Father Rosa in 1908, funds to complete the construction of the highly ornate Mission-style church, following the original architectural design, remained insufficient. For the next 50 years, services continued to be held in the basement structure.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1911 Rev. Rosa, suffering from poor health and fatigue, due in part to his strenuous duties in leading his parishioners, resigned his pastorate and returned to his native Pico. In an action that proved especially fortuitous for the parish Archbishop O’Connell appointed Bishop Henrique Jose Reed da Silva (1854-1930) to lead St. Anthony’s. Bishop da Silva’s life prior to his arrival in Lowell was quite unique.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Born in Lisbon, where he was educated and ordained a priest in 1879, the charismatic Bishop da Silva, fluent in several languages and a sacred music scholar who possessed a fine musical voice, quickly caught the attention of the Bishop of Portalegre, </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Maria_da_Silva_Ferr%C3%A3o_de_Carvalho_M%C3%A1rtens&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1"><span>José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Mártens</span></a><span>. In 1884, shortly after turning 30, Rev. da Silva was appointed the prelate of Mozambique and moved to Maputo. Upon his ordination as a bishop, he assumed control of the Maputo archdiocese. Three years later Bishop da Silva took charge of the Diocese of São Tomé of Meliapore in southern India.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During the bishop’s mission, the assassination of Portugal’s King Carlos and his son, followed by the Republican revolution in 1910, resulted in Bishop da Silva becoming an expatriate. By 1911 he returned to Boston from California and accepted Archbishop O’Connell’s offer to serve as pastor at St. Anthony’s.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1916 the bishop was joined by an assistant pastor, Rev. John S. Perry from St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Father Perry, of Azorean parentage and born in Rhode Island in 1874, quickly formed a close working relationship with the bishop. Although in good health at age 62, Bishop da Silva relied heavily on Rev. Perry for regular sacramental duties and to lead the church during his frequent absences due to his duties on behalf of Cardinal O’Connell.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1924, after being away from his native Portugal for nearly 18 years, and having reached the age of 70, Bishop da Silva quietly decided to retire from St. Anthony’s, return home, and live the remainder of his days in his beloved Lisbon. In his place, Cardinal O’Connell named Rev. Joseph T. Grillo (1885-1948) as pastor of St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of </span><span>São Miguel Father </span><span>Grillo immigrated to the United States in 1899, settling in Hudson, Massachusetts.</span></p> <p><span>Under Rev. Grillo’s leadership, several affiliated organizations were revitalized. This included the Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, and the Holy Rosary and Young Ladies sodalities. He undertook the first significant renovation of the church, overseeing the installation of a terrazzo floor, a new brighter sanctuary, complete with new statuary. Father Grillo also re-established the annual day-long picnic for parishioners and their families. In addition, he promoted various church-sponsored athletic programs and teams ranging from soccer, baseball, and basketball to track and field, along with a fife and drum corps. He also intensified various fund raising initiatives including the popular penny sales.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Throughout much of his pastorate, Father Grillo had no assistant pastor except for one year in the early 1930s when Rev. </span><span>Theophilo Pedro Damiao de Oliveira, from São Miguel served in this role. Finally, in early 1937, in recognition of his devotion and many contributions to St. Anthony’s parish, Rev. Grillo was named permanent pastor by Cardinal O’Connell. During the Second World War, Father Grillo was among Lowell’s leading clergymen heading the War Fund Drive. He was also instrumental in establishing a memorial in 1943 for Private Charles Perry (Carlos Pereira), who was killed in North Africa the previous year and was the first Portuguese-American serviceman from Lowell to give his life for the nation.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In the years after World War II, Father Grillo suffered from poor health that resulted in lengthy hospital stays. In his absence, priests at St. Peter’s, who were Irish-American and spoke no Portuguese, filled in for him. Likely aware of the language difficulties this presented to his parishioners, Father Grillo contacted Bishop Giuseppe Alves Matoso of Guarda, Portugal, and requested that he send priests to New England. The Boston Archdiocese supported this initiative and in March 1947, Rev. João F. da Silva, (anglicized to John F. Silva), arrived in Lowell from Portugal to assist Father Grillo. Within a few months another priest from Portugal, Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, joined Father Silva as a second assistant pastor.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>A few months after celebrating his 25 years in the priesthood, Father Grillo’s health worsened and in November, 1948, he died at the age of 63. </span><span>Rev. John F. Silva succeeded him and began a 30-year tenure as pastor at St. Anthony’s. While Father Grillo led St. Anthony’s parish through the hard times of the Great Depression and during the difficult years of World War II, Rev. Silva assumed control of the church during a period of prosperity for many of his parishioners. In 1958, over a 1,000 attended the 50th anniversary of the church on Central Street. Held at the Lowell Auditorium, the celebration featured speeches by Senator John F. Kennedy and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers. The most significant physical change occurred in 1960 when the superstructure of the church was finally constructed. Boston architect Mario V. Caputo produced the design for St. Anthony’s modeled after a church in Colombia.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During Father Silva’s pastorate, a number of priests assisted him, including Rev. Joseph L. Capote (1949 to 1950) and Rev. Antonio Pinto (1952 to 1954). In late 1972, Rev. Eusebio Silva, a cousin of Father Silva, arrived from Portugal to serve as his assistant. Father John Silva successfully led opposition to a proposed extension of the Lowell Connector highway that would have obliterated a large part of the parish neighborhood.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1978, Father Silva retired from the priesthood and Cardinal Humberto Medeiros appointed Rev. Eusebio Silva as administrator of St. Anthony’s. When Father Eusebio assumed the pastorate of St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, Rev. Antonio Pinto was appointed interim priest. During this time, Deacon Richard Rocha also served at Saint Anthony's, starting from his ordination in May 1983. In 1990, Rev. </span><span>José S. Ferreira assumed the leadership of the church and was assisted by the Rev. Ronald Gomes. In 1995, Father Ferreira was transferred to St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, and Rev. Francis M. Glynn, the first non-Portuguese priest of the parish, became pastor. Father Glynn served during a period of a growing Brazilian community in Lowell, but also at the time of a major strike in the city at the Prince Pasta factory, which employed dozens of his parishioners. Father Glynn supported the striking workers and their families, but despite his efforts and many others, including Representative Martin Meehan and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the corporation that owned the plant shut it down. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 2004, following Father Glynn’s assignment to a parish in Waltham, Massachusetts, Rev. Charles J. Hughes, became the pastor at St. Anthony’s. Father Hughes’ tenure proved a challenging time with declining parish membership and church closures in the wake of the numerous clergy sexual abuse cases in the Archdiocese. As with many other parishes, St. Anthony’s had no connection to any of these cases; however, it shared with many other churches increasing financial struggles and a continued drop in membership. Following Father Hughes’ departure in 2016, St. Anthony’s became part of the Lowell Collaborative in which it was joined with Immaculate Conception Church and Holy Trinity Church under the leadership of Rev. Nicholas A. Sannella. This administrative arrangement remains in place with Rev. Deacon Carlos DeSousa serving as a key clergyman at St. Anthony’s. </span></p> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only: This Work has been digitized in a public-private partnership.

ANTHONY'S CHURCH Lowell, Massachusetts 1908 1983 �Hist6ria History *** Tanto quanto e sabido foi em 1850 que uma consideravel col6nia de Portugueses se fixou em Lowell. A fama desta cidade como principal centro industrial do mundo daquela epoca atrafu-os aqui na esperanca dum melhor nfvel de vida para si e para os seus entes queridos. A sua primeira accao de conjunto foi fundar uma lgreja. Consequentemente em Janeiro de 1901 um grupo de portugueses viajou ate Cambridge para falar com o Rev. Ant6nio J. Pimentel o qual tinha sido enviado para aquela cidade pelo Bispo de Angra, Acores, afim de trabalhar com os emigrantes portugueses de East Boston e Cambridge. A sua missao era pedir para que ele intercedesse junto das autoridades eclesiasticas afim de que fosse fundada uma lgreja em Lowell. A primeira reuniao com o Padre Pimentel teve lugar no Fair Hall da lgreja de S. Pedro durante Fevereiro e Marco de 1901. 0 Salao Odd Fellows foi utilizado ate Abril e no dia 19 de Maio de 1901 a primeira lgreja, um pequeno ediffcio de madeira situado no cruzamento das ruas Congre~s e Gorham e que tinha sido comprado aos Metodistas, foi inaugurada. Nessa altura o numero de paroquianos era de 950. Em 1901 o Rev. Joaquim V. Rosa chegou da llha do Pico, Acores e foi nomeado o primeiro Pastor. Em 1905 juntou-se-lhe o Rev. Paul Despouy que foi seu assistente ate 1907. 0 Padre Despouy de origem francesa, falava portugues fluentemente tendo passado varios anos em Portugal onde seu pai tinha sido diplomata de carreira. A pequena lgreja continuou a servir como casa de oracao ate 1907 quando uma contf nua emigracao de Portugueses exigiu a aquisicao duma igreja maior. Sob a direccao do Padre Rosa foram angariados fundos para esse fim entre a col6nia Portuguesa Foi comprado terreno na Central St. e a bencao da primeira pedra teve lugar em 28 de Novembro de 1907. Embora somente a cave da planta original estivesse completa, a lgreja foi oficialmente inaugurada no dia 30 de Maio de 1908. Em 1911 o Padre Rosa voltou para o Pico deixando a lgreja entregue a Sua Excelencia Joseph Reed da Silva, natural de Portugal que tinha vindo a este Pafs para inaugurar uma nova lgreja portuguesa em Fall River. Nessa epoca desencadeou-se em Portugal uma crise polftica que forcou Sua Excelencia a adiar a partida ate 1924 completando 13 anos como Pastor. Durante a administracao do Bispo Silva o Rev. John S. Perry serviu como assistente de 1916 ate 1923. No seguimento da sua ordenacao pela Diocese de Boston o Rev. Joseph T. Grillo natural de S. Miguel, Acores, veio para Lowell onde serviu a lgreja desde Outubro de 1923 ate a sua morte em Novembro de 1948. Sob a sua orienta,;ao a dfvida original foi paga e foi construfdo o belo pavimento interior ainda hoje existente. Durante os anos 1933 - 1935 teve como assistente o Padre Te6filo Oliveira. Quando em 1946 o Padre Grillo adoeceu gravemente, o receio de que a lfngua portuguesa deixasse de ser falada na sua muito estimada lgreja, levou-o a escrever ao Bispo da Guarda em Portugal implorandolhe para enviar um ou mais padres para este pafs. Em resposta ao seu apelo o Rev. John F. Si.Iva chegou em Marco de 1947. Em Outubro do mesmo ano juntou-se-lhe o Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, ja falecido, e que mais tarde se tornou Pastor da lgreja de Santo Ant6nio de Cambridge. Depois da morte do Padre Grillo no dia 6 de Novembro de 1948 o Arcebispo Richard J. Cushing nomeou o Padre Silva administrador da lgreja de Santo Ant6nio ate a sua reforma por doenca no dia 2 de Abril de 1978. Durante a administra9ao do Padre Sllv a lgr ja fol compl tamente remodelada. Da u d dlca,;ao ea Comunidade strutura original foi levantado o belo edif1cio que hoje exi t como trlbuto I tldo p lo R v.

Its fame as one of the principal industrial centers of the world attracted them here in search of the opportunity to make a better way of life for themselves and their loved ones. The first concerted movement of this community was to establish a church. Subsequently, in January, 1901, a group of men journeyed to East Cambridge to speak with Rev. Anthony J. Pimentel who had been sent there by the bishop of Angra, Azores, to labor among the Portuguese immigrants in East Boston and Cambridge. Their request was that he intercede with church authorities for a parish to be established in Lowell, Massachusetts. The first meeting with Fr. Pimentel was held in Fair Hall of St. Peter's parish during February and March, 1901. Odd Fellows Hall was used until April and, on May 19, 1901, the first church, a small wooden structure at Congress and Gorham streets, purchased from the Primitive Methodists, was dedicated. At that time communicants numbered 950. In 1901 Rev. Joaquim V. Rosa arrived from the island of Pico, Azores, and was named the first pastor. He was joined in 1905 by Rev. Paul Despouy who assisted him until 1907. Fr. Dupouy, of French origin, spoke Portuguese fluently, having spent his early years in Portugal where his father served in the diplomatic corps. The little church continued to serve as a house of worship until 1907 when continued migration of_Portuguese necessitated the acquisition of a larger church. Under the direction of Fr. Rosa, funds were raised throughout the Portuguese colony for this purpose. Land on Central Street was purchased and the blessing of the cornerstone, by Archbishop William O'Connell, took place on November 28, 1907. Although only the basement of the original design had been completed, the church was officially dedicated on May I 30, 1908. In 1911, Fr. Rosa returned to Pico leaving the church in the hands of His Excellency Joseph Reed da Silva, a native of Portugal, who had arrived to dedicate a new Portuguese church in Fall River. During that time, a crucial period developed in the Portuguese government and His Excellency deferred his departure until 1924, completing 13 years as pastor. During Bishop da Silva's tenure, Rev. John S. Perry served as assistant pastor from 1916 to 1923. Foll?win? his ordination to the archdiocese of Boston, Rev. Joseph T. Grillo, a native of Sao Miguel, Azores, arrived in Lowell where he served from October, 1923 until his death in November, 1948. Under his guidance the original debt was paid and the beautiful terrazo floor which presently enhances our church ' was installed. During the years 1933 - 1935 he was assisted by Father Te6filo Oliveira. When, in 1946, Fr. Grillo became critically ill, the fear that the Portuguese language would cease t~ be spoken in his belove~ church prompted him to write to the bishop of Guarda in Portugal, imploring him to send one or more priests to this country. In answer to his appeal, Rev. John F. Silva arrived on March, 1947. In October he was joined by Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, now deceased, who later became pastor of St. Anthony's in Cambridge. Upon Fr. Grillo's death on November 6, 1948, Archbishop Richard J. Cushing appointed Fr. Silva to administer St. Anthony's, until his retirement, due to illness, on April 2, 1978. Under Fr. Silva's administration the church underwent a complete transformation. From the original basement structure rose the modern, beautiful edifice that stands, as a tribute to him and the Portuguese community of Lowell. During his tenu~e, ~r. Silva was assisted by Rev. Joseph L. Capote from November, 1949 to September, 1950 and Rev. Antonio Pinto who served from June, 1952 until February, 1954. On November 15, 1972 he was joined by Rev. Eusebio F. Silva, present pastor, who was so named by His Eminence Cardinal Humberto S. Medeiros on May, 1978. Under Fr. Eusebio (as he is lovingly known by his parishioners) the church has continued to prosper and grow. Due to recent increases in immigration quotas, hundreds of new families have been added to the parish. Thus we find, as we complete 75 years of existence, that we are carrying on in the spirit of our forefathers by preserving in this cosmopolitan city of Lowell, a trace of our own deeply religious culture and traditions. -Deolinda M.

Throughout the land, men and women worried about making enough money to pay for food, clothing, and a place to live, with maybe something left over for a little fun. Once-busy factories closed. Many people lost jobs. Some moved away. And the places they left behind became shabby and rundown. No town was spared. In some, the folks just gave up. Their past seemed a lot better than their future. They were hopeless, scared, confused. Tired. But in some communities, the harder things got, the harder the citizens worked. When jobs were lost, they created new ones. When buildings grew old, they rebuilt them. And eventually times got better because thats what happens when people plan and sweat and dare to try. By now you've probably guessed that this isn't a fable. Union National Bank is very proud of our areas response to hard times. We've been here every step of the way, and we intend to keep working with you turning todays ideas into tomorrows accomplishments. ~ eUnion National Bank ,\ wholly -ow1wd suhs1d1;try of SI alt· Strt't' I Bnston lorporat1on.

These items are kept in the Rectory and were organized by PADA archivists in 2021.<br /><br /><strong>Historical Overview:</strong> <p><span>For over two decades beginning in the 1870s, when Portuguese immigration to Lowell began to rise, most of the city’s Portuguese Catholics worshipped at St. Peter’s Church, a largely Irish and Irish-American parish. By the late 1890s the pastor of St. Peter’s arranged for Rev. Antonio J. Pimentel, of Boston and originally from Terceira in the Azores, to hold services for the Portuguese in a hall across the street from the church. With the Portuguese population approaching 1,000, a number of influential community members, notably Manuel P. Mello (1867-1938), from Graciosa, sought to establish their own parish. Rev. John Joseph Williams, Archbishop of Boston, supported this effort. Aided by Rev. Pimentel, Mello formed a committee, and, in 1900, began raising money for a church. One year later the committee had collected sufficient funds to purchase the abandoned Primitive Methodist Church, a wood-frame building on Gorham Street, built thirty years earlier. Dedicated on May 19, 1901, St. Anthony’s Church opened with Rev. Manuel C. Terra, the well-known pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Provincetown, celebrating the first High Mass with several hundred parishioners in attendance.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In early 1902, Archbishop Williams appointed Joaquim V. Rosa as pastor at St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of Pico, Joaquim Vieira da Rosa (1872-1964) immigrated to the United States in 1896 and for several years he assisted the pastor at St. John’s Church in New Bedford. Rev. Rosa celebrated his first Mass at St. Anthony’s in January, 1902. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Soon after taking charge of St. Anthony’s, Rev. Rosa established or supported the creation of a number of parish organizations. This included the long-lived Holy Rosary Sodality and the Holy Ghost Society. In addition to his clerical duties, he also led numerous fund-raising programs. Father Rosa also ministered to Lawrence’s Portuguese and helped found that city’s Portuguese Catholic Church. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1904, Archbishop Williams assigned Rev. Paul L. Despouy to assist Father Rosa at St. Anthony’s and to lead in establishing a Portuguese parish in Lawrence. At the same time Lowell’s growing number of Portuguese parishioners strained the capacity of the old wooden structure on Gorham Street and the search for a new church began. Once again, Manuel P. Mello played a major role in raising funds. Within two years, he and other parishioners had collected enough money to acquire land on Central Street across from the Lyon Street public school. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>With the purchase of property, Boston-based architect Timothy Edward Sheehan (1866-1933), designer of a number churches for the Archdiocese, executed the design of the new St. Anthony’s. On Thanksgiving Day, 1907, Archbishop William O’Connell presided over the dedication of the laying of the cornerstone.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1908, with construction funds fully expended, only the granite walls and the floor of the basement were completed, and a flat roof was installed over the largely subterranean structure. Nevertheless, in May Father Rosa then celebrated the first Solemn High Mass. Joining him was Father Pimentel, who now led St. Anthony’s parish in Cambridge, Father Despouy, from his mission in Lawrence, and Rev. Manuel C. Terra of Provincetown. Although the rectory next to the church was finished and occupied by Father Rosa in 1908, funds to complete the construction of the highly ornate Mission-style church, following the original architectural design, remained insufficient. For the next 50 years, services continued to be held in the basement structure.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1911 Rev. Rosa, suffering from poor health and fatigue, due in part to his strenuous duties in leading his parishioners, resigned his pastorate and returned to his native Pico. In an action that proved especially fortuitous for the parish Archbishop O’Connell appointed Bishop Henrique Jose Reed da Silva (1854-1930) to lead St. Anthony’s. Bishop da Silva’s life prior to his arrival in Lowell was quite unique.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Born in Lisbon, where he was educated and ordained a priest in 1879, the charismatic Bishop da Silva, fluent in several languages and a sacred music scholar who possessed a fine musical voice, quickly caught the attention of the Bishop of Portalegre, </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Maria_da_Silva_Ferr%C3%A3o_de_Carvalho_M%C3%A1rtens&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1"><span>José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Mártens</span></a><span>. In 1884, shortly after turning 30, Rev. da Silva was appointed the prelate of Mozambique and moved to Maputo. Upon his ordination as a bishop, he assumed control of the Maputo archdiocese. Three years later Bishop da Silva took charge of the Diocese of São Tomé of Meliapore in southern India.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During the bishop’s mission, the assassination of Portugal’s King Carlos and his son, followed by the Republican revolution in 1910, resulted in Bishop da Silva becoming an expatriate. By 1911 he returned to Boston from California and accepted Archbishop O’Connell’s offer to serve as pastor at St. Anthony’s.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1916 the bishop was joined by an assistant pastor, Rev. John S. Perry from St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Father Perry, of Azorean parentage and born in Rhode Island in 1874, quickly formed a close working relationship with the bishop. Although in good health at age 62, Bishop da Silva relied heavily on Rev. Perry for regular sacramental duties and to lead the church during his frequent absences due to his duties on behalf of Cardinal O’Connell.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1924, after being away from his native Portugal for nearly 18 years, and having reached the age of 70, Bishop da Silva quietly decided to retire from St. Anthony’s, return home, and live the remainder of his days in his beloved Lisbon. In his place, Cardinal O’Connell named Rev. Joseph T. Grillo (1885-1948) as pastor of St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of </span><span>São Miguel Father </span><span>Grillo immigrated to the United States in 1899, settling in Hudson, Massachusetts.</span></p> <p><span>Under Rev. Grillo’s leadership, several affiliated organizations were revitalized. This included the Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, and the Holy Rosary and Young Ladies sodalities. He undertook the first significant renovation of the church, overseeing the installation of a terrazzo floor, a new brighter sanctuary, complete with new statuary. Father Grillo also re-established the annual day-long picnic for parishioners and their families. In addition, he promoted various church-sponsored athletic programs and teams ranging from soccer, baseball, and basketball to track and field, along with a fife and drum corps. He also intensified various fund raising initiatives including the popular penny sales.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Throughout much of his pastorate, Father Grillo had no assistant pastor except for one year in the early 1930s when Rev. </span><span>Theophilo Pedro Damiao de Oliveira, from São Miguel served in this role. Finally, in early 1937, in recognition of his devotion and many contributions to St. Anthony’s parish, Rev. Grillo was named permanent pastor by Cardinal O’Connell. During the Second World War, Father Grillo was among Lowell’s leading clergymen heading the War Fund Drive. He was also instrumental in establishing a memorial in 1943 for Private Charles Perry (Carlos Pereira), who was killed in North Africa the previous year and was the first Portuguese-American serviceman from Lowell to give his life for the nation.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In the years after World War II, Father Grillo suffered from poor health that resulted in lengthy hospital stays. In his absence, priests at St. Peter’s, who were Irish-American and spoke no Portuguese, filled in for him. Likely aware of the language difficulties this presented to his parishioners, Father Grillo contacted Bishop Giuseppe Alves Matoso of Guarda, Portugal, and requested that he send priests to New England. The Boston Archdiocese supported this initiative and in March 1947, Rev. João F. da Silva, (anglicized to John F. Silva), arrived in Lowell from Portugal to assist Father Grillo. Within a few months another priest from Portugal, Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, joined Father Silva as a second assistant pastor.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>A few months after celebrating his 25 years in the priesthood, Father Grillo’s health worsened and in November, 1948, he died at the age of 63. </span><span>Rev. John F. Silva succeeded him and began a 30-year tenure as pastor at St. Anthony’s. While Father Grillo led St. Anthony’s parish through the hard times of the Great Depression and during the difficult years of World War II, Rev. Silva assumed control of the church during a period of prosperity for many of his parishioners. In 1958, over a 1,000 attended the 50th anniversary of the church on Central Street. Held at the Lowell Auditorium, the celebration featured speeches by Senator John F. Kennedy and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers. The most significant physical change occurred in 1960 when the superstructure of the church was finally constructed. Boston architect Mario V. Caputo produced the design for St. Anthony’s modeled after a church in Colombia.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During Father Silva’s pastorate, a number of priests assisted him, including Rev. Joseph L. Capote (1949 to 1950) and Rev. Antonio Pinto (1952 to 1954). In late 1972, Rev. Eusebio Silva, a cousin of Father Silva, arrived from Portugal to serve as his assistant. Father John Silva successfully led opposition to a proposed extension of the Lowell Connector highway that would have obliterated a large part of the parish neighborhood.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1978, Father Silva retired from the priesthood and Cardinal Humberto Medeiros appointed Rev. Eusebio Silva as administrator of St. Anthony’s. When Father Eusebio assumed the pastorate of St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, Rev. Antonio Pinto was appointed interim priest. During this time, Deacon Richard Rocha also served at Saint Anthony's, starting from his ordination in May 1983. In 1990, Rev. </span><span>José S. Ferreira assumed the leadership of the church and was assisted by the Rev. Ronald Gomes. In 1995, Father Ferreira was transferred to St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, and Rev. Francis M. Glynn, the first non-Portuguese priest of the parish, became pastor. Father Glynn served during a period of a growing Brazilian community in Lowell, but also at the time of a major strike in the city at the Prince Pasta factory, which employed dozens of his parishioners. Father Glynn supported the striking workers and their families, but despite his efforts and many others, including Representative Martin Meehan and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the corporation that owned the plant shut it down. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 2004, following Father Glynn’s assignment to a parish in Waltham, Massachusetts, Rev. Charles J. Hughes, became the pastor at St. Anthony’s. Father Hughes’ tenure proved a challenging time with declining parish membership and church closures in the wake of the numerous clergy sexual abuse cases in the Archdiocese. As with many other parishes, St. Anthony’s had no connection to any of these cases; however, it shared with many other churches increasing financial struggles and a continued drop in membership. Following Father Hughes’ departure in 2016, St. Anthony’s became part of the Lowell Collaborative in which it was joined with Immaculate Conception Church and Holy Trinity Church under the leadership of Rev. Nicholas A. Sannella. This administrative arrangement remains in place with Rev. Deacon Carlos DeSousa serving as a key clergyman at St. Anthony’s. </span></p> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only: This Work has been digitized in a public-private partnership.

By the late 1890s the pastor of St. Peter’s arranged for Rev. Antonio J. Pimentel, of Boston and originally from Terceira in the Azores, to hold services for the Portuguese in a hall across the street from the church. With the Portuguese population approaching 1,000, a number of influential community members, notably Manuel P. Mello (1867-1938), from Graciosa, sought to establish their own parish. Rev. John Joseph Williams, Archbishop of Boston, supported this effort. Aided by Rev. Pimentel, Mello formed a committee, and, in 1900, began raising money for a church. One year later the committee had collected sufficient funds to purchase the abandoned Primitive Methodist Church, a wood-frame building on Gorham Street, built thirty years earlier. Dedicated on May 19, 1901, St. Anthony’s Church opened with Rev. Manuel C. Terra, the well-known pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Provincetown, celebrating the first High Mass with several hundred parishioners in attendance.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In early 1902, Archbishop Williams appointed Joaquim V. Rosa as pastor at St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of Pico, Joaquim Vieira da Rosa (1872-1964) immigrated to the United States in 1896 and for several years he assisted the pastor at St. John’s Church in New Bedford. Rev. Rosa celebrated his first Mass at St. Anthony’s in January, 1902. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Soon after taking charge of St. Anthony’s, Rev. Rosa established or supported the creation of a number of parish organizations. This included the long-lived Holy Rosary Sodality and the Holy Ghost Society. In addition to his clerical duties, he also led numerous fund-raising programs. Father Rosa also ministered to Lawrence’s Portuguese and helped found that city’s Portuguese Catholic Church. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1904, Archbishop Williams assigned Rev. Paul L. Despouy to assist Father Rosa at St. Anthony’s and to lead in establishing a Portuguese parish in Lawrence. At the same time Lowell’s growing number of Portuguese parishioners strained the capacity of the old wooden structure on Gorham Street and the search for a new church began. Once again, Manuel P. Mello played a major role in raising funds. Within two years, he and other parishioners had collected enough money to acquire land on Central Street across from the Lyon Street public school. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>With the purchase of property, Boston-based architect Timothy Edward Sheehan (1866-1933), designer of a number churches for the Archdiocese, executed the design of the new St. Anthony’s. On Thanksgiving Day, 1907, Archbishop William O’Connell presided over the dedication of the laying of the cornerstone.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1908, with construction funds fully expended, only the granite walls and the floor of the basement were completed, and a flat roof was installed over the largely subterranean structure. Nevertheless, in May Father Rosa then celebrated the first Solemn High Mass. Joining him was Father Pimentel, who now led St. Anthony’s parish in Cambridge, Father Despouy, from his mission in Lawrence, and Rev. Manuel C. Terra of Provincetown. Although the rectory next to the church was finished and occupied by Father Rosa in 1908, funds to complete the construction of the highly ornate Mission-style church, following the original architectural design, remained insufficient. For the next 50 years, services continued to be held in the basement structure.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1911 Rev. Rosa, suffering from poor health and fatigue, due in part to his strenuous duties in leading his parishioners, resigned his pastorate and returned to his native Pico. In an action that proved especially fortuitous for the parish Archbishop O’Connell appointed Bishop Henrique Jose Reed da Silva (1854-1930) to lead St. Anthony’s. Bishop da Silva’s life prior to his arrival in Lowell was quite unique.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Born in Lisbon, where he was educated and ordained a priest in 1879, the charismatic Bishop da Silva, fluent in several languages and a sacred music scholar who possessed a fine musical voice, quickly caught the attention of the Bishop of Portalegre, </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Maria_da_Silva_Ferr%C3%A3o_de_Carvalho_M%C3%A1rtens&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1"><span>José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Mártens</span></a><span>. In 1884, shortly after turning 30, Rev. da Silva was appointed the prelate of Mozambique and moved to Maputo. Upon his ordination as a bishop, he assumed control of the Maputo archdiocese. Three years later Bishop da Silva took charge of the Diocese of São Tomé of Meliapore in southern India.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During the bishop’s mission, the assassination of Portugal’s King Carlos and his son, followed by the Republican revolution in 1910, resulted in Bishop da Silva becoming an expatriate. By 1911 he returned to Boston from California and accepted Archbishop O’Connell’s offer to serve as pastor at St. Anthony’s.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1916 the bishop was joined by an assistant pastor, Rev. John S. Perry from St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Father Perry, of Azorean parentage and born in Rhode Island in 1874, quickly formed a close working relationship with the bishop. Although in good health at age 62, Bishop da Silva relied heavily on Rev. Perry for regular sacramental duties and to lead the church during his frequent absences due to his duties on behalf of Cardinal O’Connell.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1924, after being away from his native Portugal for nearly 18 years, and having reached the age of 70, Bishop da Silva quietly decided to retire from St. Anthony’s, return home, and live the remainder of his days in his beloved Lisbon. In his place, Cardinal O’Connell named Rev. Joseph T. Grillo (1885-1948) as pastor of St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of </span><span>São Miguel Father </span><span>Grillo immigrated to the United States in 1899, settling in Hudson, Massachusetts.</span></p> <p><span>Under Rev. Grillo’s leadership, several affiliated organizations were revitalized. This included the Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, and the Holy Rosary and Young Ladies sodalities. He undertook the first significant renovation of the church, overseeing the installation of a terrazzo floor, a new brighter sanctuary, complete with new statuary. Father Grillo also re-established the annual day-long picnic for parishioners and their families. In addition, he promoted various church-sponsored athletic programs and teams ranging from soccer, baseball, and basketball to track and field, along with a fife and drum corps. He also intensified various fund raising initiatives including the popular penny sales.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Throughout much of his pastorate, Father Grillo had no assistant pastor except for one year in the early 1930s when Rev. </span><span>Theophilo Pedro Damiao de Oliveira, from São Miguel served in this role. Finally, in early 1937, in recognition of his devotion and many contributions to St. Anthony’s parish, Rev. Grillo was named permanent pastor by Cardinal O’Connell. During the Second World War, Father Grillo was among Lowell’s leading clergymen heading the War Fund Drive. He was also instrumental in establishing a memorial in 1943 for Private Charles Perry (Carlos Pereira), who was killed in North Africa the previous year and was the first Portuguese-American serviceman from Lowell to give his life for the nation.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In the years after World War II, Father Grillo suffered from poor health that resulted in lengthy hospital stays. In his absence, priests at St. Peter’s, who were Irish-American and spoke no Portuguese, filled in for him. Likely aware of the language difficulties this presented to his parishioners, Father Grillo contacted Bishop Giuseppe Alves Matoso of Guarda, Portugal, and requested that he send priests to New England. The Boston Archdiocese supported this initiative and in March 1947, Rev. João F. da Silva, (anglicized to John F. Silva), arrived in Lowell from Portugal to assist Father Grillo. Within a few months another priest from Portugal, Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, joined Father Silva as a second assistant pastor.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>A few months after celebrating his 25 years in the priesthood, Father Grillo’s health worsened and in November, 1948, he died at the age of 63. </span><span>Rev. John F. Silva succeeded him and began a 30-year tenure as pastor at St. Anthony’s. While Father Grillo led St. Anthony’s parish through the hard times of the Great Depression and during the difficult years of World War II, Rev. Silva assumed control of the church during a period of prosperity for many of his parishioners. In 1958, over a 1,000 attended the 50th anniversary of the church on Central Street. Held at the Lowell Auditorium, the celebration featured speeches by Senator John F. Kennedy and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers. The most significant physical change occurred in 1960 when the superstructure of the church was finally constructed. Boston architect Mario V. Caputo produced the design for St. Anthony’s modeled after a church in Colombia.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During Father Silva’s pastorate, a number of priests assisted him, including Rev. Joseph L. Capote (1949 to 1950) and Rev. Antonio Pinto (1952 to 1954). In late 1972, Rev. Eusebio Silva, a cousin of Father Silva, arrived from Portugal to serve as his assistant. Father John Silva successfully led opposition to a proposed extension of the Lowell Connector highway that would have obliterated a large part of the parish neighborhood.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1978, Father Silva retired from the priesthood and Cardinal Humberto Medeiros appointed Rev. Eusebio Silva as administrator of St. Anthony’s. When Father Eusebio assumed the pastorate of St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, Rev. Antonio Pinto was appointed interim priest. During this time, Deacon Richard Rocha also served at Saint Anthony's, starting from his ordination in May 1983. In 1990, Rev. </span><span>José S. Ferreira assumed the leadership of the church and was assisted by the Rev. Ronald Gomes. In 1995, Father Ferreira was transferred to St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, and Rev. Francis M. Glynn, the first non-Portuguese priest of the parish, became pastor. Father Glynn served during a period of a growing Brazilian community in Lowell, but also at the time of a major strike in the city at the Prince Pasta factory, which employed dozens of his parishioners. Father Glynn supported the striking workers and their families, but despite his efforts and many others, including Representative Martin Meehan and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the corporation that owned the plant shut it down. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 2004, following Father Glynn’s assignment to a parish in Waltham, Massachusetts, Rev. Charles J. Hughes, became the pastor at St. Anthony’s. Father Hughes’ tenure proved a challenging time with declining parish membership and church closures in the wake of the numerous clergy sexual abuse cases in the Archdiocese. As with many other parishes, St. Anthony’s had no connection to any of these cases; however, it shared with many other churches increasing financial struggles and a continued drop in membership. Following Father Hughes’ departure in 2016, St. Anthony’s became part of the Lowell Collaborative in which it was joined with Immaculate Conception Church and Holy Trinity Church under the leadership of Rev. Nicholas A. Sannella. This administrative arrangement remains in place with Rev. Deacon Carlos DeSousa serving as a key clergyman at St. Anthony’s. </span></p> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only: This Work has been digitized in a public-private partnership.

ANTHONY'S CHURC: 893 Central Street ~OWfll, MA 01852 CARDINAL'S RESIDENCE On the cover of this book is the crown of Queen Isabel of Portugal (12711336), cannonized on Trinity Sunday, May 25, 1625 by Pope Urbano VIII, who, during his 21-year reign as pope, cannonized only one saint-Saint Isabel. There is a legend that Queen Isabel, taking part in a procession, came upon a person who was seriously ill. She placed her crown on his head and he was cured and, since that time, in memory of her devotion to the Holy Spirit and the miracle which she performed, we still have the crownings for the seven weeks between Easter and Pentecost. In the village of Alenquer, Portugal, Queen Isabel had a dream-that she should have a church built in that village for devotion to the Holy Spirit. In the morning she called a chaplain and told him of her dream. Carpenters and workmen found the foundation already opened and the plan of the building in outline. This unexplainable and prodigious event was witnessed by her husband, King Diniz, and the entire village of Alenquer. Many miracles happened during the time of construction. The first mass was celebrated on Pentecost Sunday and on that day the sovereigns established the Confraternity of the Holy Ghost. In an excerpt in the "Life of Saint Isabel" we find that she founded this confraternity and from it came the societies of the Holy Ghost. In some of the islands the name imperio designates devotion to the Holy Spirit to celebrate the solemnity of Pentecost as it is still practiced in the islands of the Azores and Madeira, and Portuguese colonies in the United States of America. 2101 COMMONWEALTH AVENUE BRIGHTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02135 �...

ANTHONY SILVA Jubilee Usherette �The following history was compiled from information gathered and available records. Although the Holy Ghost Society was founded 50 years ago, feasts have been held in Lowell since the Portuguese people came to this country from the Azores, approximately 75 years ago, when they brought the tradition with them. Every year on Pentecost and Trinity Sundays the traditional dinner was sopa do Divina Espirito Santo e came assada. Originally there were two presidents, one for the Pentecost Sunday dinner and procession and another for Trinity Sunday. By 1923 the practice of two presidents was discontinued and one person handled both. History of the Holy Ghost Society~ Inc. Preparing for the, Feast Looking back fifty years, around 1922, we find that on the Thursday before Pentecost the people gathered on Charles, Street to decorate a cow (or cows, depending on how many members they had) with paper Rowers, crepe paper ribbons and tree branches. This created a very colorful sight, especially when the cow got excited and the colors would go Hying. This was a festive day; people gathered, following the decorated cow along Lawrence and Charles Streets accompanied by violas and guitars. If they knew, they would go to the house of the person who had the crown. On the following day (Friday), the men slaughtered the cow on Charles Street. Joseph Silva and his brother Joaquim would then go on horse and buggy, delivering a piece of beef, blood for the soup and spearmint to the members of the feast. This was the same horse and buggy used during the week to sell wood from their business location on Charles Street. They would wash and scrub down the wagon in preparation for this event. On Friday and Saturday the cooking was done in people's homes. On Sunday it was brought to the Odd Fellows Hall, located at 100 Middlesex Street, which was rented for the Feast. This hall was divided into two rooms. While the children ate first in one room, the parents waited in another. Dinner consisted of soup, roast beef, an orange ( which they took to work the next morning) or banana, wine or tonic and Portuguese bread. The donated wine was homemade. Homemade beer was also served. One of the by-laws of the Confraternity established by Queen Isabel was that seven bulls should be slaughtered and the meat given to the poor of the area. The person who had the crown received a free dinner. All children who marched in the procession were fed free of charge. Th_e Union Portuguese Colonial Band, usually played for the Feast. Processions with the band left from Middlesex Street and went to the house of the person who had the crown and proceed~d to St. Anthony's Church for mass. After mass, they contmued up Central Street down Gorham and back to Middlesex for the dinner and celebration of auction and band concert. It was customary for the President to carry a bouquet of Rowers and the committee usually wore a medallion ribbon and sash. Around 4:00 P.M. sandwiches and wine or tonic were oiven to everyone. After moving to Holy Ghost Park the cust~m was that children were served the sandwiches first and any left would go to the adults present. It has always been the custom that members' children, no matter how many in the family, would have a free dinner-and the custom continues today. The Origin of Holy Ghost Park 1 Around 1922 President Frank Ramos and a committee ran a Masquerade Dance (the only one to be held) with admission set at 25¢. It was held at the Odd Fellows Hall, which was rented for $5. The purpose of the dance was to make money to buy land so they could have their own property to celebrate the Holy Ghost Feast. Meetings were held at the Old Colonial Band Hall, located at 2 Chapel Street, now known as the Portuguese American Center Club. People went from house to house collecting nickels and dimes from their friends to aid this land fund. The person collecting the most money won a barrel of Hour which was donated by A. N. Bettencourt Grocery. Frederick Avila collected $49.50 and was the winner. Up to 1922 a president was elected each year and any monies left over would be handed to the next president. That year Mr. Ramos decided that they should have their own land and said the surplus money would go toward the purchase. The idea for locating at Village Street came from John Dias who lived in the vicinity. The charter of the Holy Ghost Society, Inc. was signed by six Holy Ghost members on August 24, 1923 (see Charter Members page). The purpose of the Holy Ghost Society, Inc. was to "furnish a place and means for the education and recreation of its members and for social, religious and civic purposes among its members". The two and a half acres of land were purchased from Herbert C. and Margaret W . Merrill on September 4, 1923. They underwrote a loan to the Society for $1200.00 which was repaid in two years. The Story of the Rusty Nail During the feast in 1923, someone found a rusty nail and it was auctioned off for $25, which at that time was considered a lot of money, to start the original land fund. The nail symbolized fencing in the land. A wooden fence was built by the Holy Ghost Committee. At that time, the land was very wooded and members chopped down the trees and brush. A horse would pull the logs which were then loaded onto Bettencourt's truck to be hauled away. On January 13, 1927, a building loan was taken out for $1,000. It was paid for at the rate of $ 15.00 every three months with final payment on August 2, 1940. Vincent Silva used his homi!S as collateral for construction of the original building, built from second hand lumber. A tent was used at first. Long tree branches were used to cover it. Tables were constructed of saw horses and platforms. In 1927 Mr. Silva. and committee also built the first bandstand. A capela was built to house the coroa do Divinio Espirito Santo and the coroa da Trindade. Someone would sit outside and keep watch on the candles. Recent Improvements In 1950 improved outside lavatories were built. The Trinity Sunday celebration was discontinued in 1958. Dances became more frequent after the Roor was put in the old building. The annual election of the Holy Ghost Queen was established in 1959 and the first Portuguese girl to be chosen was Mary Caires. This year's Queen and attendants were awarded a trip to Portugal as part of the Golden Jubilee celebration. Fire destroyed the old building in June 1964. Immediate plans were made for rebuilding. On June 15, 1964 the Building Committee (see Building Committee page) was organized. The new construction began in October 1965 and continued through 1966. In the interim, the feast and dinner were held under a large white tent, and one year was held on the grounds of St. Apthony's Church . In 1965 there was only a shell to the new building and meals were cooked in the old kitchen. Improvements on the new building continued through the years and included hot-topping of the parking lot in 1967, with completion in 1971; playground equipment was installed for the children; overhangs were gradually added and, in 1972, one side was enclosed; air-conditioners were installed in 1972; and many more improvements, too numerous to mention were made. Today, as we celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the founding of the Holy Ghost Society, Inc., the building and grounds are considered complete and, at the last general meeting held on July 15, 1973, the Building Committee was dissolved. As the name of this society implies, may the Holy Spirit guide all its members and their families; mav everyone continue to enjoy the pleasures of the Holy Ghost Park. ■ �• 1923-1973 1923-1973 Mr. and Mrs. George A.

These items are kept in the Rectory and were organized by PADA archivists in 2021.<br /><br /><strong>Historical Overview:</strong> <p><span>For over two decades beginning in the 1870s, when Portuguese immigration to Lowell began to rise, most of the city’s Portuguese Catholics worshipped at St. Peter’s Church, a largely Irish and Irish-American parish. By the late 1890s the pastor of St. Peter’s arranged for Rev. Antonio J. Pimentel, of Boston and originally from Terceira in the Azores, to hold services for the Portuguese in a hall across the street from the church. With the Portuguese population approaching 1,000, a number of influential community members, notably Manuel P. Mello (1867-1938), from Graciosa, sought to establish their own parish. Rev. John Joseph Williams, Archbishop of Boston, supported this effort. Aided by Rev. Pimentel, Mello formed a committee, and, in 1900, began raising money for a church. One year later the committee had collected sufficient funds to purchase the abandoned Primitive Methodist Church, a wood-frame building on Gorham Street, built thirty years earlier. Dedicated on May 19, 1901, St. Anthony’s Church opened with Rev. Manuel C. Terra, the well-known pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Provincetown, celebrating the first High Mass with several hundred parishioners in attendance.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In early 1902, Archbishop Williams appointed Joaquim V. Rosa as pastor at St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of Pico, Joaquim Vieira da Rosa (1872-1964) immigrated to the United States in 1896 and for several years he assisted the pastor at St. John’s Church in New Bedford. Rev. Rosa celebrated his first Mass at St. Anthony’s in January, 1902. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Soon after taking charge of St. Anthony’s, Rev. Rosa established or supported the creation of a number of parish organizations. This included the long-lived Holy Rosary Sodality and the Holy Ghost Society. In addition to his clerical duties, he also led numerous fund-raising programs. Father Rosa also ministered to Lawrence’s Portuguese and helped found that city’s Portuguese Catholic Church. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1904, Archbishop Williams assigned Rev. Paul L. Despouy to assist Father Rosa at St. Anthony’s and to lead in establishing a Portuguese parish in Lawrence. At the same time Lowell’s growing number of Portuguese parishioners strained the capacity of the old wooden structure on Gorham Street and the search for a new church began. Once again, Manuel P. Mello played a major role in raising funds. Within two years, he and other parishioners had collected enough money to acquire land on Central Street across from the Lyon Street public school. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>With the purchase of property, Boston-based architect Timothy Edward Sheehan (1866-1933), designer of a number churches for the Archdiocese, executed the design of the new St. Anthony’s. On Thanksgiving Day, 1907, Archbishop William O’Connell presided over the dedication of the laying of the cornerstone.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1908, with construction funds fully expended, only the granite walls and the floor of the basement were completed, and a flat roof was installed over the largely subterranean structure. Nevertheless, in May Father Rosa then celebrated the first Solemn High Mass. Joining him was Father Pimentel, who now led St. Anthony’s parish in Cambridge, Father Despouy, from his mission in Lawrence, and Rev. Manuel C. Terra of Provincetown. Although the rectory next to the church was finished and occupied by Father Rosa in 1908, funds to complete the construction of the highly ornate Mission-style church, following the original architectural design, remained insufficient. For the next 50 years, services continued to be held in the basement structure.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1911 Rev. Rosa, suffering from poor health and fatigue, due in part to his strenuous duties in leading his parishioners, resigned his pastorate and returned to his native Pico. In an action that proved especially fortuitous for the parish Archbishop O’Connell appointed Bishop Henrique Jose Reed da Silva (1854-1930) to lead St. Anthony’s. Bishop da Silva’s life prior to his arrival in Lowell was quite unique.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Born in Lisbon, where he was educated and ordained a priest in 1879, the charismatic Bishop da Silva, fluent in several languages and a sacred music scholar who possessed a fine musical voice, quickly caught the attention of the Bishop of Portalegre, </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Maria_da_Silva_Ferr%C3%A3o_de_Carvalho_M%C3%A1rtens&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1"><span>José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Mártens</span></a><span>. In 1884, shortly after turning 30, Rev. da Silva was appointed the prelate of Mozambique and moved to Maputo. Upon his ordination as a bishop, he assumed control of the Maputo archdiocese. Three years later Bishop da Silva took charge of the Diocese of São Tomé of Meliapore in southern India.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During the bishop’s mission, the assassination of Portugal’s King Carlos and his son, followed by the Republican revolution in 1910, resulted in Bishop da Silva becoming an expatriate. By 1911 he returned to Boston from California and accepted Archbishop O’Connell’s offer to serve as pastor at St. Anthony’s.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1916 the bishop was joined by an assistant pastor, Rev. John S. Perry from St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Father Perry, of Azorean parentage and born in Rhode Island in 1874, quickly formed a close working relationship with the bishop. Although in good health at age 62, Bishop da Silva relied heavily on Rev. Perry for regular sacramental duties and to lead the church during his frequent absences due to his duties on behalf of Cardinal O’Connell.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1924, after being away from his native Portugal for nearly 18 years, and having reached the age of 70, Bishop da Silva quietly decided to retire from St. Anthony’s, return home, and live the remainder of his days in his beloved Lisbon. In his place, Cardinal O’Connell named Rev. Joseph T. Grillo (1885-1948) as pastor of St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of </span><span>São Miguel Father </span><span>Grillo immigrated to the United States in 1899, settling in Hudson, Massachusetts.</span></p> <p><span>Under Rev. Grillo’s leadership, several affiliated organizations were revitalized. This included the Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, and the Holy Rosary and Young Ladies sodalities. He undertook the first significant renovation of the church, overseeing the installation of a terrazzo floor, a new brighter sanctuary, complete with new statuary. Father Grillo also re-established the annual day-long picnic for parishioners and their families. In addition, he promoted various church-sponsored athletic programs and teams ranging from soccer, baseball, and basketball to track and field, along with a fife and drum corps. He also intensified various fund raising initiatives including the popular penny sales.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Throughout much of his pastorate, Father Grillo had no assistant pastor except for one year in the early 1930s when Rev. </span><span>Theophilo Pedro Damiao de Oliveira, from São Miguel served in this role. Finally, in early 1937, in recognition of his devotion and many contributions to St. Anthony’s parish, Rev. Grillo was named permanent pastor by Cardinal O’Connell. During the Second World War, Father Grillo was among Lowell’s leading clergymen heading the War Fund Drive. He was also instrumental in establishing a memorial in 1943 for Private Charles Perry (Carlos Pereira), who was killed in North Africa the previous year and was the first Portuguese-American serviceman from Lowell to give his life for the nation.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In the years after World War II, Father Grillo suffered from poor health that resulted in lengthy hospital stays. In his absence, priests at St. Peter’s, who were Irish-American and spoke no Portuguese, filled in for him. Likely aware of the language difficulties this presented to his parishioners, Father Grillo contacted Bishop Giuseppe Alves Matoso of Guarda, Portugal, and requested that he send priests to New England. The Boston Archdiocese supported this initiative and in March 1947, Rev. João F. da Silva, (anglicized to John F. Silva), arrived in Lowell from Portugal to assist Father Grillo. Within a few months another priest from Portugal, Rev. Manuel J. Cascais, joined Father Silva as a second assistant pastor.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>A few months after celebrating his 25 years in the priesthood, Father Grillo’s health worsened and in November, 1948, he died at the age of 63. </span><span>Rev. John F. Silva succeeded him and began a 30-year tenure as pastor at St. Anthony’s. While Father Grillo led St. Anthony’s parish through the hard times of the Great Depression and during the difficult years of World War II, Rev. Silva assumed control of the church during a period of prosperity for many of his parishioners. In 1958, over a 1,000 attended the 50th anniversary of the church on Central Street. Held at the Lowell Auditorium, the celebration featured speeches by Senator John F. Kennedy and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers. The most significant physical change occurred in 1960 when the superstructure of the church was finally constructed. Boston architect Mario V. Caputo produced the design for St. Anthony’s modeled after a church in Colombia.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>During Father Silva’s pastorate, a number of priests assisted him, including Rev. Joseph L. Capote (1949 to 1950) and Rev. Antonio Pinto (1952 to 1954). In late 1972, Rev. Eusebio Silva, a cousin of Father Silva, arrived from Portugal to serve as his assistant. Father John Silva successfully led opposition to a proposed extension of the Lowell Connector highway that would have obliterated a large part of the parish neighborhood.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 1978, Father Silva retired from the priesthood and Cardinal Humberto Medeiros appointed Rev. Eusebio Silva as administrator of St. Anthony’s. When Father Eusebio assumed the pastorate of St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, Rev. Antonio Pinto was appointed interim priest. During this time, Deacon Richard Rocha also served at Saint Anthony's, starting from his ordination in May 1983. In 1990, Rev. </span><span>José S. Ferreira assumed the leadership of the church and was assisted by the Rev. Ronald Gomes. In 1995, Father Ferreira was transferred to St. Anthony’s in Cambridge, and Rev. Francis M. Glynn, the first non-Portuguese priest of the parish, became pastor. Father Glynn served during a period of a growing Brazilian community in Lowell, but also at the time of a major strike in the city at the Prince Pasta factory, which employed dozens of his parishioners. Father Glynn supported the striking workers and their families, but despite his efforts and many others, including Representative Martin Meehan and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the corporation that owned the plant shut it down. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span>In 2004, following Father Glynn’s assignment to a parish in Waltham, Massachusetts, Rev. Charles J. Hughes, became the pastor at St. Anthony’s. Father Hughes’ tenure proved a challenging time with declining parish membership and church closures in the wake of the numerous clergy sexual abuse cases in the Archdiocese. As with many other parishes, St. Anthony’s had no connection to any of these cases; however, it shared with many other churches increasing financial struggles and a continued drop in membership. Following Father Hughes’ departure in 2016, St. Anthony’s became part of the Lowell Collaborative in which it was joined with Immaculate Conception Church and Holy Trinity Church under the leadership of Rev. Nicholas A. Sannella. This administrative arrangement remains in place with Rev. Deacon Carlos DeSousa serving as a key clergyman at St. Anthony’s. </span></p> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only: This Work has been digitized in a public-private partnership.
