This collection includes scans of the organization's bylaws, meeting minutes spanning back to the organization's beginnings in 1904, lists of registered members and their membership fees, financial information as recorded by treasurers throughout the years, interactions with Portuguese businesses, records related to the Peabody Portuguese Catholic Mission, medical notes, letters, photographs of Carnaval performances and rancho folclórico groups, pictures of musical and social events hosted in the Hall, and other documentation spanning the history of the Portuguese Benefit Society. Historical Overview: The Portuguese Benefit Society of Our Lady of Help was founded on August 15th, 1904 and was recognized by the Massachusetts State Government on May 9th, 1910. Its primary purpose was to pay sick benefits to any members in the United States (or those who recently left the United States), to provide sick benefits to any members who suffer from a chronic illness in any part of the world, and to pay a death premium to any deceased member, no matter where they resided at their passing. The founding members were Antonio Chaves, Domingos S. Conde, Mateus S. Luz, Manuel S. Silva, John S. Sousa, Frank Aguiar. Manuel Matz, Manuel S. Conde, Manuel Aguiar, John S. Mathias, Jose S. Silva, Manuel M. Mello, John Leal and Manuel Sylvester. Today, the Portuguese Benefit Society remains a focal point of Peabody's Portuguese community. Even 120 years later, the organization continues to uphold its original mission while simultaneously creating a communal gathering space for new and old generations alike to explore and share Portuguese culture and tradition.

Each entry begins with the date and time the meeting started, who of the "brothers" were in attendance and who was absent, what was discussed, and information about the finances and membership dues. Every meeting begins with a call to order by the President followed by role call and the reading of the past meeting minutes for approval. Correspondences, such as bills, thank you notes, and other letters sent to the Portuguese Benefit Society are read aloud for the officers, and any members receiving disability benefits are also noted on the record. When the meeting formally begins, a number of topics are discussed, such as voting on applicants for new society members, significant events and services that week, disability reports for disabled members, special committee reports, and information on departed members. The treasurer's report presented in each meeting contains information about the Mortuary (Death) Fund, the Disability Fund, and the General Expenses Fund; the benefits paid to society members since the last meeting; any bills paid; the rent paid for the Hall for that time period; the amount of money in the society's savings and bank accounts; and other receipts and details about monetary expenses for the Portuguese Benefit Society. The entries in the back of the book contains information about dances, parties, events, donations, expenses, and other payments or profit recorded by the benefit society, likely in 1940. Scans of notes and papers found throughout the book that could not be displayed properly in their original location can be found at the end of the PDF. The Arnold R. Faria labeled paper was found on page 69, the treasurer order used for extra notes was found on page 266, the note from Manuel Bettencourt was found on page 357, the note from Antonio C. Mello was found on page 436, and the letter from Sousa Pinto was found on page 474.

Title A name given to the resource Deolinda Mello Collection [1917-1988] Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align:left;">This collection focuses on the life of Deolinda Mello. The photographs (and some writings) highlighted in this collection showcase her close ties with Lowell's Portuguese and immigrant communities.</div> Biographical Note: Deolinda Machado Mello was born in Lowell in 1914 to Joseph (João) Perry (Pereira) and Maria (Rocha) Machado. João Perry (1886-1939) immigrated from Terceira around 1900, settled in Lowell, and worked as a weaver in the Appleton Mills. He eventually became a skilled loom fixer and was among the highest paid occupations on the shop floor in the textile industry. Maria Machado (1888-1958) immigrated one year later and also worked initially in a cotton mill. João and Maria were communicants at St. Anthony’s Church, where they married in 1906. For a few years, João and Maria lived in Ayer’s City, where there was a small number of Portuguese families, but they subsequently moved to Lincoln Street near Chelmsford Street. They later resided in the Highlands neighborhood. In addition to Deolinda, they had a daughter Mary (1908-1972), and two sons, Henry Perry (1912-1987), and John Machado (1917-1983). Deolinda received her education at Keith Academy and, after graduating, she attended Lowell State College and Boston University. She subsequently received a degree in social sciences at the University of Rhode Island. By the late 1930s, Deolinda worked as accountant at the Laganas Shoe Factory in Lowell, one of the city’s largest shoe manufacturers. She was also active in the Portuguese-American Civic League and in 1939 served as a delegate to the state convention of civic leagues. She became increasingly active at St. Anthony’s Church, notably in the Holy Rosary Sodality Society. The following year she married Tebert Joseph Pacheco Mello, a furniture upholsterer who eventually operated his own upholstering business. Tebert Joseph Pacheco Mello (1905-1967) was born in Terceira to Antonio and Josephine Augusta Mello. His family immigrated to the United States when he was a baby. He was a member of Saint Anthony’s Church from its founding days, an active committee member in the Holy Name Society, and served as Director of Lowell’s Portuguese American Civic League. Tebert and Deolinda had once son, Robert, who went on to serve in the US Navy, attend Newbury College, and eventually opened and ran several restaurants in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Deolinda worked as a board member of the International Institute of Lowell, which provided social and educational services to the city’s immigrant communities. In 1958, she became executive director of the International Institute, a position she held for over 20 years. In 1959, Deolinda took a diplomatic trip to Portugal in 1959, where she was able to meet and interview Antonio Salazar at his summer residence. For her many years of service at the International Institute, she was honored at a testimonial dinner, attended by over 500 friends and dignitaries, and received letters of commendation from the state’s major educational and political leaders, including U.S. senators Edward Kennedy and Paul Tsongas. She died in 1988, leaving her son Robert Mello, her daughter-in-law, Charlene, and two grandchildren, Bob and Elena.

The photographs (and some writings) highlighted in this collection showcase her close ties with Lowell's Portuguese and immigrant communities.</div> Biographical Note: Deolinda Machado Mello was born in Lowell in 1914 to Joseph (João) Perry (Pereira) and Maria (Rocha) Machado. João Perry (1886-1939) immigrated from Terceira around 1900, settled in Lowell, and worked as a weaver in the Appleton Mills. He eventually became a skilled loom fixer and was among the highest paid occupations on the shop floor in the textile industry. Maria Machado (1888-1958) immigrated one year later and also worked initially in a cotton mill. João and Maria were communicants at St. Anthony’s Church, where they married in 1906. For a few years, João and Maria lived in Ayer’s City, where there was a small number of Portuguese families, but they subsequently moved to Lincoln Street near Chelmsford Street. They later resided in the Highlands neighborhood. In addition to Deolinda, they had a daughter Mary (1908-1972), and two sons, Henry Perry (1912-1987), and John Machado (1917-1983). Deolinda received her education at Keith Academy and, after graduating, she attended Lowell State College and Boston University. She subsequently received a degree in social sciences at the University of Rhode Island. By the late 1930s, Deolinda worked as accountant at the Laganas Shoe Factory in Lowell, one of the city’s largest shoe manufacturers. She was also active in the Portuguese-American Civic League and in 1939 served as a delegate to the state convention of civic leagues. She became increasingly active at St. Anthony’s Church, notably in the Holy Rosary Sodality Society. The following year she married Tebert Joseph Pacheco Mello, a furniture upholsterer who eventually operated his own upholstering business. Tebert Joseph Pacheco Mello (1905-1967) was born in Terceira to Antonio and Josephine Augusta Mello. His family immigrated to the United States when he was a baby. He was a member of Saint Anthony’s Church from its founding days, an active committee member in the Holy Name Society, and served as Director of Lowell’s Portuguese American Civic League. Tebert and Deolinda had once son, Robert, who went on to serve in the US Navy, attend Newbury College, and eventually opened and ran several restaurants in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Deolinda worked as a board member of the International Institute of Lowell, which provided social and educational services to the city’s immigrant communities. In 1958, she became executive director of the International Institute, a position she held for over 20 years. In 1959, Deolinda took a diplomatic trip to Portugal in 1959, where she was able to meet and interview Antonio Salazar at his summer residence. For her many years of service at the International Institute, she was honored at a testimonial dinner, attended by over 500 friends and dignitaries, and received letters of commendation from the state’s major educational and political leaders, including U.S. senators Edward Kennedy and Paul Tsongas. She died in 1988, leaving her son Robert Mello, her daughter-in-law, Charlene, and two grandchildren, Bob and Elena.

Title A name given to the resource Deolinda Mello Collection [1917-1988] Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align:left;">This collection focuses on the life of Deolinda Mello. The photographs (and some writings) highlighted in this collection showcase her close ties with Lowell's Portuguese and immigrant communities.</div> Biographical Note: Deolinda Machado Mello was born in Lowell in 1914 to Joseph (João) Perry (Pereira) and Maria (Rocha) Machado. João Perry (1886-1939) immigrated from Terceira around 1900, settled in Lowell, and worked as a weaver in the Appleton Mills. He eventually became a skilled loom fixer and was among the highest paid occupations on the shop floor in the textile industry. Maria Machado (1888-1958) immigrated one year later and also worked initially in a cotton mill. João and Maria were communicants at St. Anthony’s Church, where they married in 1906. For a few years, João and Maria lived in Ayer’s City, where there was a small number of Portuguese families, but they subsequently moved to Lincoln Street near Chelmsford Street. They later resided in the Highlands neighborhood. In addition to Deolinda, they had a daughter Mary (1908-1972), and two sons, Henry Perry (1912-1987), and John Machado (1917-1983). Deolinda received her education at Keith Academy and, after graduating, she attended Lowell State College and Boston University. She subsequently received a degree in social sciences at the University of Rhode Island. By the late 1930s, Deolinda worked as accountant at the Laganas Shoe Factory in Lowell, one of the city’s largest shoe manufacturers. She was also active in the Portuguese-American Civic League and in 1939 served as a delegate to the state convention of civic leagues. She became increasingly active at St. Anthony’s Church, notably in the Holy Rosary Sodality Society. The following year she married Tebert Joseph Pacheco Mello, a furniture upholsterer who eventually operated his own upholstering business. Tebert Joseph Pacheco Mello (1905-1967) was born in Terceira to Antonio and Josephine Augusta Mello. His family immigrated to the United States when he was a baby. He was a member of Saint Anthony’s Church from its founding days, an active committee member in the Holy Name Society, and served as Director of Lowell’s Portuguese American Civic League. Tebert and Deolinda had once son, Robert, who went on to serve in the US Navy, attend Newbury College, and eventually opened and ran several restaurants in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Deolinda worked as a board member of the International Institute of Lowell, which provided social and educational services to the city’s immigrant communities. In 1958, she became executive director of the International Institute, a position she held for over 20 years. In 1959, Deolinda took a diplomatic trip to Portugal in 1959, where she was able to meet and interview Antonio Salazar at his summer residence.

Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store. In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations. This collection is still growing. Check back for updates! Biographical Note Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store. In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations. This collection is still growing. Check back for updates! Biographical Note Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store. In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations. This collection is still growing. Check back for updates! Biographical Note Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store. In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement. Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity. Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

ANTHONY'S NEWSLETTER Volume 1, Number 4 December2000 Lowell, Massachusetts **************************** **************************** Pde. Frank Glynn Fr. Frank Glynn The Christmas season stimulates many reactions in our hearts. There is the dread that we non-shoppers feel as we consider how to survive the process of deciding what t o buy and how to do it as painlessly as possible. There is the annoyance with t he w orld as every year they hijack the feast of the gift of the Lord to be a marketing tool for their profit-making schemes. There is the wonder as we gaze upon our children with their dreams of Santa Claus and his gifts and their learn ing of Jesus and His gifts. There is the exhaustion as we roam from store to store, party to party, house to house! decorating, cooking, cleaning, and planmng. There is the joy of happy memories of Christmas spent in the innocence of our younger years. There is the sadness as we spend this Christmas wit hout loved ones who made past Christmases so special. In paragraph 464 the Catechism of the Catholic Church help~ us to put the feast of Christmas in correct perspective: "The Word became flesh to make us partakers of the divine nature. For Continues next page A quadra natalicia provoca muitas reacc;oes nos nossos corac;oes. Existe a ansia que nos, OS que nao gostamos de fazer compras, sentimos quando estudamos o modo de sobreviver ao processo de decidir o que comprar e, como faze- lo com o menor esforc;o possivel. Ha a furia e a zanga para com o mundo quando, t odos os anos, eles nos roubam a f esta do Senhor, t ransformando-a numa ferramenta a servir os seus esquemas de lucros pessoais. Ha a alegria maravilhosa de olhar para as nossas crianc;as com os seus sonhos de Sao Nicolau e os seus presentes e ve-las aprender sobre Jesus e os Seus dons. Ha ainda o cansac;o de correr de loja para loja, de casa para casa, decorando, cozinhando, limpando e planeando. Ha a alegria das memorias felizes de Natais passados na inocencia dos anos de infancia. E ha tambem a tristeza, ao passarmos est e Natal sem as pessoas queridas que fizeram Natais passados tao especiais para nos. No paragrafo 464 o Catecismo ajudanos a por o Natal na perspectiva correcta: "O Verbo fez-se carne para fazer-nos participantes da natureza divina. Epor isto que o Verbo se tornou homem, e o Filho de Deus se tornou no Filho do Homem: para que os homens, entrando em comunhao com o Verbo, e deste modo recebendo f iliac;ao divina, possam tornar-se filhos de Deus. 0 Filho de Deus tornou-se homem continua na pagina seguint 1 �this is why the Word became a man, and the Son of God became the Son of Humanity: so that humanity, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving sonship and daughtership, might become a child of God. For the Son of God became a man so that we might become God. The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in His divinity, assumed our nature, so that He, made human, might make humans gods." We wish each other a "Merry Christmas". Synonyms for "merry" are: mirthful, hilarious, gleeful, blithe, gay, jolly, and jovial. These words should help us to contemplate the wondrous gift of our God and reaction to it. God loves us so much that He sent His only-begotten Son to live with us as The Sign of His love. We are safe, precious, and free. As we face the dark days of winter we erupt with mirth, laughter, and joy as we realize that God is love and dwells with us. So, as we do all the stuff associated with this time of year, let us take time to contemplate our magnificent God, His gift to us in Jesus, and the peace and joy that is ours forever, no matter what the winter or fate should bring us. Have a Merry Christmas with each other and with the Lord. para que nos possamos ser Deus. O Filho de Deus, querendo fazer-nos participantes da Sua divindade, assumiu a nossa natureza, para que Ele, feito homem, possa fazer-nos deuses humanos." Desejamos uns aos outros "Feliz Natal". Sinonimos para "feliz" sao: ditoso, alegre, contente, satisfeito, venturoso, aben~oado ••. Estas palavras deviam ajudarnos a melhor contemplar a maravilhosa oferta do nosso Deus e a nossa reac~ao a ela. Deus ama-nos tanto que nos mandou o Seu (mico filho para viver connosco, como sinal do Seu amor. Nos estamos seguros, somos preciosos e livres. Ao encararmos os dias escuros do Inverno, enchemo-nos de alegria, sorrisos e felicidade, ao realizarmos que Deus amor e vive entre nos. Portanto, enquanto fazemos todas as coisas que se associam com esta quadra, tiremos tempo para contemplar o Deus magnifico, a Sua oferta para nos em Jesus, e a paz e alegria que sao nossas para sempre, seja o que for que o Inverno ou a sorte nos traga. Tenham um Feliz Natal uns com os outros e todos, com o Senhor. e 2 �Mutt-o-Oh-rtgado--(!/ at-6 UWl/ THANK YOU AND GOOD-BYE: TR00P429 ___ ___________ I [__ di:a✓,· Por: Joanne Silva ~ By: Joanne Silva (i<J-Jt;ariamo-J'bagradecer ~Paroqut:a,b SanbJ-A nbfn£o-f!/ ~ecia/,mente,, ao-Padrf!/ Frank- f!/ ~(jerry wda,~ge,,tr'~f!/ .I-Up~ dado-ao- nosso-grupo-: Se-nruno--n,,os, .semprf!/ benil~ <i<J-Jt;ariamo-J' b dqfer ~ @dos; 9 uao-~~n,,os,~,serrrir. remdr remdr perl,a/@ ntib-poder~ ~1#£U-ar 0-- nossogrupo--es-w, ano-por~ b uderer. ~ e r ~ @poder 1/o/,tz:u; no--fi.dur0; Mtd-w-Obrifjado<irupo-- b I We would like to thank St. Anthony's parish and especially Fr.

The entire circulatory system is affected since it becomes increasingly more difficult for the blood to travel from the heart to the major organs. Multiple blood pressure readings are taken to establish an average and then analyzed by a physician to determine hypertension. You may have symptoms of headache, blurring of vision, or chest pains, but in some cases you may not have any symptoms at all. Modern life styles tend to increase blood pressure causing hypertension. Some of the known factors include a high salt intake, excessive alcohol consumption, and obesity. Genetic factors may also influence this disease. Primary hypertension is the most com mon type and a healthier life style and medication generally improve it when needed. Secondary hypertension is the result of a disorder or abnormality of the kidney, adrenal gland or other vital organ. This less common type of hypertension is often treated surgically. Hypertension may also occur during pregnancy and require special attention. Arteriosclerosis, a fatty build-up, also call plaque, develops in the damaged arterial wall, clogging the flow of blood throughout the artery. Blood clots may form more easily and become dangerous if dislodged. Under increasing blood pressure, a weakening of the artery wall may balloon out (aneurysm) and break, causing blood loss, tissue damage, and even death. Often, the cause of high blood pressure is unknown, but certain factors can place people at risk. If you have high blood pressure, take steps to get it under control, but always check with your health care provider before you begin any diet or exercise/weight-loss program. Eat smart, lose weight, exercise regularly, don't smoke, or quit if you do, limit alcohol, reduce stress, take the medication you've been prescribed. High blood pressure, if left uncontrolled, can lead to more serious health problems like: enlargement of the heart, hardening of the arteries, stroke, heart attack, kidney damage. Jose C.

Todo o sistema circulat6rio flea afectado na medida em que se torna cada vez mais dificil para o sangue circular do cora~o para os orgaos principais do corpo. Varias leituras da tensao arterial sao tomadas a fim de estabelecer uma media que e entao analisad a pelo medico na determina~ o de hipertensao. Podera ter como sintomas: dores de cabe~, visao toldada ou dores no peito, mas, em alguns casos, pode nao haver sintomas nenhuns. O estilo da vida moderna tende a aumentar a tensao arterial, causando hipertensao. Alguns dos factores mais comuns sao: o grande consumo de sal, excesso de bebidas alco61icas ou gordura. Hereditariedade e tambem um factor com um. Hipertensao primaria e a mais vulgar e geralmente pode ser controlada com medica~o e uma vida saudavel. Hipertensao secundaria, por outro lado, e o resultado de funcionamento anormal dos rins, glandula adrenal ou outro orgao vital. Esta doen~a e normalmente tratada com cirurgia. Tensao alta pode tambem surgir durante a gravidez, requerendo neste caso aten~o medica especial. Arteriosclerose, acumula~o de gordura nas paredes internas das arterias bloqueia o fluxo normal de sangue, alterando a tensao arterial; coagulos sanguineos podem formarse mais facilmente, bloqueando a passagem de sangue. Sob o aumento da pressao sanguinea, uma arteria enfraquecida, pode inchar (aneurismo) e romper-se causando perda de sangue, dano de tecidos ou ate a morte. Algumas vezes a causa da hipertensao e desconhecida mas, certos factores aumentam o risco de a ter. Se tem tensao alta, tome medidas para controla-la, mas consulte o seu medico antes de come~ar qualquer dieta, exercicios ou programa para perder peso. Tome cuidado com a alimenta~ao, perca peso, fa~ exercicio, nao fume, beba pouco alcool, reduza o stress e tome a medica~o que lhe for prescrita. Tensao arterial alta, se nao for controlada pode levar a problemas de saude muito mais serios tais como: alargamento do cora~ao, endurecimento das arterias, trombose, ataque de cora~ao e doen~as renais.

The kids were in bed, the gifts were all wrapped, and the milk & cookies waited by the fireplace for Santa. As I sat back admiring the tree with its decorations, I couldn't help feeling that something important was missing. It wasn't long before the tiny tree lights lulled me to sleep. I don't know bow long I slept but all of a sudden, I knew I wasn't alone. I opened my eyes, and you can imagine my surprise when I saw Santa Claus himself standing next to my C hristmas tree. He was dressed all in fur from bead to foot, just as the poem described him, but be was not the "Jolly Old Elf' of Christmas legend. The man who stood before me looked sad and disappointed and there were tears in his eyes. "Santa, what's wrong?" I asked. "Why are you crying?" "It's the children," Santa replied sadly. "But Santa, the children love you," I said. " Oh, I know they love me, and they love the gifts I bring them," Santa said, "but the children of today seem to have somehow missed out on the true spirit of C hristmas. It's not their fault. It's just that the adults, many of them not having been taught themselves, have forgotten to teach the children." "Teach them what?" I asked. Santa's kind old face became softer and more gentle. His eyes began to shine with something more than tears. He spoke softly. "Teach the children the true meaning of Christmas. Teach them that the part of Christmas we can see, bear, and touch is much more than meets the eye. Teach them the symbolism behind the customs and traditions of Christmas that we observe. Teach them what is truly important and what the symbols represent. Santa reached into bis bag, pulled out a tiny Christmas tree and set it on my mantel. "Teach them about the Christmas tree. Green is the second color of Christmas. The stately evergreen, with its unchanging color, represents the hope of eternal life in Jesus. Tarde, na Noite de Natal, encostei-me so sofa, cansada mas satisfeita. Os miudos estavam na cama, os presentes estavam todos embrulhados e o leite e as bolachas esperavam por Sao Nicolau, junto a lareira. Estando admirando a arvore e as suas decoracoes senti que algo estava faltando. Nao demorou muito para que o piscar da luzes da arvore me levasse a dormir. Nao sei por quanto tempo dormi mas de repente apercebi-me de que nao estava s6zinha. Abri os olhos e imaginem o meu espanto quando o Pai Natal de pe, ao lado da minha arvore. Estava vestido com peles, da cabeca aos pes, tal como o poema o descreve, mas nao era o "Alegre e ldoso Elf' das hist6rias de Natal. 0 homem que estava junto de mim olhava-me com tristeza e desapontamento e lagrimas brotavam-lhe nos olhos. -"Que se passa Pai Natal?" perguntei. "Perque estas chorando?" -"E por causa das criancas," respondeu tristemente. E eu disse "Mas, as criancas gostam muito de ti." -"Oh, eu sei que elas gostam de mim e dos presentes que lhes trago, mas as criancas de hoje parecem ter perdido o verdadeiro sentido do Natal. Nao e culpa delas. E que os adultos, muitos deles nao aprenderam, esqueceram-se de ensinar as criamcas." -"Ensinar o que?" perguntei. A face do Pai Natal abrandou e tornou-se mais gentil. Os olhos comecaram a brilhar com algo mais que lagrimas e ele falou suavemente. "Ensina as criancas o verdadeiro sentido do Natal. Explica-lhes que aquilo que no Natal vemos, ouvimos e sentimos e muito mais profundo do que parece. Ensina-lhes o simbolismo por detras dos habitos e tradicoes de Natal. Diz-lhes o que e o mais importante e o que tudo sig nifica." Entao, o Pai Natal pegou no seu saco, tirou dele uma pequena aevore de Natal e colocou-a em cima da lareira. "Ensina-as acerca da arvore de Natal. Verde e a segunda cor do Natal. Os Pinheiros, com as suas cores que nao mudam, representam a esperanca da vida eterna em Jesus. As agulhas apontando para o ceu lembram-nos que os pensamentos dos homens deviam tambem virar-se para o ceu. 0 Pai Natal pegou de novo no saco e dele retirou uma estrela brilhante que pos no cimo da pequena arvore. "A estrela e o sinal celestial de promessa. Deus prometeu um Salvador ao mundo, e a estrela foi o sinal do cumprimento dessa promessa, na noite em que Jesus Cristo nasceu. Ensina as criancas que Deus cumpre sempre as Suas promessas, e que os homens sabios continuam a Sua procura. "Vermelho ea primeira cor de Natal." Disse ele, colocando um ornamento vermelho na arvore. "Vermelho e intense, profundo e vivido. E a cor do sangue vital que corre nas nossa veias. E o simbolo 6 �Its needles point heavenward as a reminder that man's thoughts should turn heavenward as well." Santa reached into his bag again, pulled out a shiny star, and placed it at the top of the small tree. "The star was the heavenly sign of promise. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of the fulfillment of that promise on the night that Jesus Christ was born. Teach the children that God always fulfills his promises, and that wise men still seek Him." "Red" said Santa, "is the first color of Christmas." He pulled forth a red ornament for the tiny tree. "Red is deep, intense, vivid. It is the color of the life-giving blood that flows through our veins. It is the symbol of God's greatest gift. Teach the children that Christ gave his life and shed his blood for them that they might have eternal life. When they see the color red it should remind them of that most wonderful gift." Santa found a silver bell in his pack and placed it on the tree. "Just as lost sheep are guided to safety by the sound of the bell, it continues to ring today for all to be guided to the fold. Teach the children to follow the one true Shepherd, who gave His life for the sheep." Santa placed a candle on the mantel and lit it The soft glow from its tiny flame brightened the room. "The glow of the candle represents how man can show his thanks for the gift of God's son that Christmas Eve long ago. Teach the children to follow in Christ's footsteps. To go about doing good. Teach them to let their light so shine before men that all may see it and glorify God. This is what is symbolized when the twinkling lights shine on the tree like hundreds of bright, shining candles, each of them representing one of God's precious children, their light shining for all to see." Again Santa reached into his bag and this time he brought forth a tiny red and white striped cane. As he hung it on the tree he spoke softly. "The cane is a stick of hard white candy. White is to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and the hard candy symbolizes the Solid Rock, the foundation of the church, and the firmness of God's promises. The candy cane is in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It also represents the crook of the Good Shepherd, which He uses to reach down into the darkest corners of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who have gone astray. The original candy cane had three small red stripes, which represent the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. The large red stripe represents the blood Jesus shed, so that we may have the promise of eternal life if we believe in Him. Teach these things to the children.

Quando elas virem a cor vermelha lembrar-se-ao des ta maravi lhosa oferta," Encontrou uma campainha prateada e po-la na Arvore. "Do mesmo modo que as ovelhas perdidas se guiam pelo som da campainha, assim hoje ela continua a tocar, chamando-nos a seguranc;a do redil. Diz as crianc;as para seguir o (mico e verdadeiro Pastor, que deu a Sua vida pelo Seu rebanho." 0 Pai Natal colocou depois uma vela na junto da arvore e acendeu-a. A luz suave da pequena chama iluminou o quarto. "O brilho da vela representa o modo como os homens podem mostrar o seu agradecimento pela maravilhosa dadiva do Filho de Deus nessa Noite de Natal de ha tantos anos atras. Ensina as crianc;as a seguir os passos de Cristo, a fazer o bem. Ensina-as a deixar as suas luzes brilhar perante os homens para que todos a possam ver e glorificar a Deus. Estee o simbolo das luzes piscando na arvore, tal como centenas de pequenas velas brilhando, cada uma delas representando um dos preciosos filhos de Deus, a sua luz brilhando para todos verem." Uma vez mais o Pai Natal voltou ao saco e desta vez tirou uma pequena bengala de rebuc;ado, branca e vermelha. Ao po-la na arvore, disse suavemente. "Esta bengala e uma pequena vara de rebuc;ado duro e branco. A cor branca e o simbolol da Virgem e da concepc;ao sem pecado de Jesus, ea dureza do rebuc;ado simboliza a Rocha S61ida, a fundac;ao da lgreja e a firmeza das promessas de Deus." Tem o feitio de um "J" para representar o precioso nome de Jesus, que veio a terra como nosso Salvador. Representa tambem o bastao do Bom Pastor que Ele usa para resgatar as ovelhas tresmalhadas pelos cantos escuros do mundo. 0 rebuc;ado original costumava ter tres tiras vermelhas, que representam as chicotadas que Jesus recebeu pela nossa salvac;ao. A tira vermelha mais larga representa o sangue que Jesus perdeu, como garantia da vida eterna que teremos se acreditarmos nEle. Ensina tudo isto as crianc;as." Entao ele tirou uma linda Coroa de Natal feita de plantas frescas e cheirosas e atou-lhe um lac;o vermelho brilhante. "0 lac;o serve para lembrar- nos da uniao perfeita que o Amor. A Coroa representa todas as coisas boas sobre o Natal para aqueles que tem olhos para ver e corac;ao para sentir. Contem verde e vermelho com as agulhas do pinheiro voltadas para o ceu. 0 Lac;o vermelho fala-nos de boa vontade para com e Continua na pagina seguinte 7 �Santa then brought out a beautiful wreath made of fresh, fragrant greenery and tied with a bright red bow. "The bow serves to remind us of the bond of perfection, which is love. The wreath embodies all the good things about Christmas for those with eyes to see and hearts to understand. It contains the colors of red and green and the heaven-turned needles of the evergreen. The red bow tells the story of goodwill towards all, binding us all together with love, and its color reminds us of Christ's sacrifice. Even its very shape is symbolic, representing eternity and the eternal nature of Christ's love. It is a circle, without beginning and without end. These are the things you must teach the children. " "But where does t hat leave you Santa?" I asked. The tears gone now from his eyes, a smile broke over Santa's face. "Why bless you, my dear," he laughed, "I'm only a symbol myself. I represent the spirit of family fun and the joy of giving and receiving. If the children are taught these other things there is no danger that I will ever be forgotten." "I think I'm beginning to understand at last," I replied. "That's why I came," said Santa. "You are an adult. It is your responsibility. If you don't take the time to teach the children what Christmas is really all about, then who will?" . ,, . .• ., . ' todos, juntando-nos em amor, e a sua cor recorda-nos o sacrificio de Cristo.

"Mas, no meio disto tudo, qual o teu papel, Pai Natal?" perguntei. Ja sem lagrimas nos olhos, um sorriso brilhou na sua cara. " Deus te aben~oe minha querida," riu-se, "Eu tambem sou s6 um simbolo. Eu represento o espirito de familia e a alegria de dar e receber. Se todas estas coisas forem ensinadas a crian~as, nao ha perigo de se esquecerem de mim." " Penso que estou percebendo finalmente," repliquei. "Foi por isso que aqui vim," disse o Pai Natal. " Tu es uma adulta. Esta e uma responsabilidade tua.

VINCENT dePAUL SOCIETY The St. Vincent dePaul Society is an international organization founded in 1833 by a young man named Frederick Ozanam along with some of his fellow college students. (Frederick Ozanam was canonized recently by Pope John Paul II). Under the patronage of St. Vincent dePaul, today the society includes almost 900,000 members spread among 46,000 confraternities in 130 countries. Who was St . Vincent dePaul? Born in Gascony, Fra nce, in 1581, Vincent attended t he universit ies of Dax and Toulouse. It is said that Vincent was seized by pirat es while going from Marseilles to Narbonne in 1606. Sold into slavery in Tunisia, he escaped and returned to France some months later. He spent some 20 years as a parish priest and chaplain to an aristocratic family. He was also Chaplain General of the galleys of France and as such tried to aid the galley slaves. In 1617 he founded the first Confraternity of Charity, made up of wealthy women working among the sick and poor near Lyon, France. With the support of the family with whom he served as chaplain, Vincent founded the Congregation of the Mission to preach to the peasants in the family's estates. A community of the congregation was formally established at the college of BonEnfants in Paris in 1626 where Vincent served as principal. The alternate name of Lazarist Fathers was given to the group when it established its headquarters in the former priory of St. Lazare in Paris in 1632. Vincent not only headed the order, but also founded several other charitable organizations, most notably the Daughters of Charity in 1633. The founding hospital in Paris owes its origin to this group. The congregation of Missions organized several A SOCIEDADE DE SAO VICENTE DE PAULO A Sociedade de Sao Vicente de Paulo e uma organiza~o internacional fundada em 1833 por um jovem chamado Frederick Ozanam, junto com alguns colegas da universidade. (Frederick Ozanam foi recentemente canonizado pelo Papa Joao Paulo II). Tendo como patrono Sao Vicente de Paulo, a sociedade inclui, hoje em dia, cerca de 900.000 membros espalhados por 46 mil grupos em 130 paises. Quern foi Sao Vicente de Paulo? Nascido em Fran~ (Gascony) em 1581, Vicente foi aluno das Universidades de Tax e de Toulouse. Diz-se que Vicente foi raptado por piratas quando ia de Marselha para Narbonne, em 1606. Vendido como escravo em Tunisia, escapou e regressou a Fran~ alguns meses mais tarde. Passou 20 anos como paroco e capelao de uma familia aristocrata. Foi tambem capelao Geral das gales francesas e, nessa qualidade, tentou ajudar os escravos das gales. Em 1617 fundou a primeira Confraria de caridade, composta de mulheres ricas, trabalhando entre os doentes e os pobres junto de Lyon, Fran~. Com o suporte da familia a quern servia como capelao, 10 �Vicente fundou a Congrega~o da Missao para pregar aos camponeses dos terrenos da familia. Uma comunidade dessa congrega~o foi oficialmente estabelecida no colegio de "Bon-Enfants" em Paris no ano de 1626, onde Vicente serviu com Director. Outro nome - Irmaos Lazaristas - foi dado ao grupo, quando estabeleceu o quartel general na antiga prioria de Sao Lazaro em Paris, em 1632. Vicente nao so se manteve frente da ordem como tambem fundou outras organiza~oes de caridade, principalmente as "Irmas de Caridade", em 1633. O primeiro hospital dos Vicentinos, em Paris foi fundado por este grupo. A congrega~ao das Missoes formou diversos Seminarios para a forma~ao e treino de Padres, como resultado do trabalho feito por Vicente com os jovens acabados de ordenar. Preocupou-se muito, tambem com trabalhadores substitutos durante as guerras religiosas em Fran~a. Vicente morreu em 1660. Foi canonizado em 1737 e foi nomeado patrono dos trabalhos de caridade em 1855. A Festa de Sao Vicente de Paulo e no dia 27 de Setembro. o proposito da Sociedade de Sao Vicente de Paulo e providenciar ajuda directa aso que sofrem, e ajudar os individuos a reduzir ou ate eliminar a causa do seu sofrimento.

He was also concerned with relief work during the religious wars in France. Vincent died in 1660. He was canonized in 1737 and was named patron of works of charity in 1855. St. Vincent dePaul's feast day is September 27th • The society's purpose is to provide direct aid to those who suffer, and to help individuals reduce and even eliminate the cause of their suffering. Earliest records show that St. Anthony's Society was organized in 1925 and has been active ever since, helping the needy of our parish by bringing food to the poor and visiting the elderly, the lonely and the sick. As part of a larger organization, we are sometimes asked to help the needy in other parts of the world. This is done through financial contributions, food and clothing collections, all donated by our parishioners. t . ..

Only a "Health Care Proxy" is formally recognized by Massachusetts Law. While interviewing Attorney Linda J. Robbins, I asked her what the difference was between a "Living Will" and a "Health Care Proxy". Attorney Robbins stated that a " Living Will" is a document that specifically details a person's preference about life support. A "Health Care Proxy" is a legal document under Massachusetts's law that enables you to choose a Health Care Agent. A Health Care Agent is a person who speaks for you if you ever become incapable of taking part in planning the course of your own medical care. Unlike a will, which is a private document and usually no one knows what's in it until after the person has died, Attorney Robbins says that the more people who have your "Health Care Proxy" the better. Your Doctor should have a copy of your "Health Care Proxy", as well as knowing the substance of the discussions you have had with your Health Care Agent and how t o get in touch with him or her. I n most cases, the Health Care Agent would be a family member or close friend. He or she should be someone whose judgment you trust and who would be comfortable with the responsibility. Many factors enter into deciding who should be your Health Care Agent. For instance, some people would be too emotional to take on the responsibility of being a Health Care Agent. You would have to talk to the person whom you would want to be your agent and make him or her understand what your wishes are should you become incapable of stating them yourself. You should focus your discussion; try to think about what another person would need to know about you in order to make decisions that are consistent with your values and preferences. It is important for you to recommend an alternate Health Care Agent in case your agent cannot be reached. You would also want to discuss your values and preferences with this person. You will want to discuss what you are putting in your health care proxy with as many family members as possible, thereby, making no mistake about your wishes. Be very clear and concise when discussing this matter with others. A lawyer would not be needed t o help you complete the form t hat is available at most hospitals and senior centers. Therefore, I asked Attorney Robbins what would be the advantage of hiring a lawyer to help with the " Health Care Proxy". Attorney Robbins stated that an attorney would "fine tune" the "Health Care Proxy" to meet the person's needs. An Attorney would also be able to answer any legal questions you may have concerning the "Health Care Proxy". Finally, an Attorney would be able to create a document that gives a person peace of mind. 12 �I Testamento e Procurador de Sau.de Por Bea Hogan Sabeis que o Estado de Massachusetts nao reconhece uma "Living Will"? Apenas uma "Health Care Proxy" (Procurac;ao de Saude) e oficialmente aceita pela Lei do Estado. Enquanto estava entrevistando a advogada Linda J. Robbins, perguntei qual a diferenc;a entre estes dois documentos. Ela respondeu que "Living Will" e um documento que detalha especificamente a vontade da pessoa acerca suporte artificial da vida (miiquinas, etc). "Health Care Proxy" e um documento legal que dii a oportunidade de escolher um Agente de Saude (Procurador). Este procurador (Health Care Agent) e uma pessoa que falara por si, se em alguma altura for incapaz de tomar decisoes pessoais que digam respeito a cuidados e procedimentos medicos. Diferente de um testamento, que e um documento privado e de que normalmente ninguem sabe ate que a pessoa morra, a advogada Robbins diz que quantas mais pessoas tiverem uma "Procurac;ao de Saude" melhor. O vosso medico pessoal deve ter uma c6pia deste documento, bem como o conteudo dos assuntos que discutisteis com o vosso Procurador e, como contactar com ele. Na maior parte dos casos o "Procurador de Saude" e um membro da familia ou um amsgo intimo. Deve ser alguem em cujo julgamento confiais e que, ao mesmo tempo se sente confortiivel com a responsabilidade. Muitos factores ha que considerar ao decidir quem escolher para "Procurador de Saude". Por exemplo, algumas pessoas sao demasiado emocionais para poderem assumir esta responsabilidade. Havera que falar com a pessoa escolhida e faze-la compreender os vossos desejos e vontades em caso de ficardes incapaz de poder expressa-los pessoalmente. Ha que considerar bem a materia; tenha em considerac;ao o que essa pessoa precisa de saber em ordem a tomar decisoes que sejam consistentes com os vossos valores e preferencias. E importante que se nomeie um segundo Agente para o caso de nao se conseguir contactar com o primeiro. Tambem tereis de discutir os vossos valores e preferencias com esta pessoa. Eaconselhavel informar e conversar com o maior numero possivel de familiares sobre o conteudo da "Health Care Proxy", desta forma, deixando bem clara a vossa vontade. Seja claro e conciso quando discutir este assunto com outras pessoas. Um advogado nao e necessario para preencher este documento que esta a disposic;ao de quem estiver interessado, na maior parte dos hospitais e centros de idosos. Dai, eu perguntei a Advogada Robbins qual seria a vantagem em contratar um advogado para este efeito. Ela respondeu que um advogado ajudaria com os pequenos pormenores, para que o documento fosse de acordo com as necessidades individuais. Um advogado pode tambem responder a perguntas ou duvidas que tenham sobre aspectos legais. Por fim, um advogado pode mais facilmente produzir um documento que possa dar a pessoa paz de consciencia. 13 �HAPPY BlRTHDAY JESUS A CHRISTMAS STORY By: Joan Varosky My niece and her husband have three children Brendan 6, Alexandra 5 and Michaela 3. Every Christmas Eve they have a wonderful open house for family and friends to stop by. Last Christmas Eve the house was full of people and the children were entertaining the guests with their Christmas songs when the front door opened and in came a couple with a baby in a car seat. Well, the two girls w ent flyi ng to the door and were very excit ed and kept saying "BABY JESUS"," BABY JESUS"! They w ould not let the baby go. They kept holding on the t o car seat. Finally the Mother made her way into the living room and put the baby on the floor. The girls were all excited. They were just in another world. You could see the gleam in their eyes that " BABY JESUS" had come to their house. Well after a few minutes of this excitement we were all wonderi ng what made them believe that is was "BABY JESUS" and he had come to their , ouse. Well my niece finally made it into the room nd explained to us that she had been explaining to the three children that Christmas is just not getting resents from Santa, w e celebrate the birth of " BABY JESUS". So in their little minds "BABY JESUS" had come to their house to celebrate his birthday. After all, it was a party and family and friends were there. Everyone was just so amazed that Michaela who was two at the time had his thought in her mind. On Christmas Day we have breakfast with the children and then open presents. When we arrived to have breakfast, they came to the door explaining to us the "BABY JESUS" came to their house last night to celebrate his birthday. If you could imagine the two grandmothers and greatgrandmothers had tears in their eyes as they proceeded to explain about "BABY JESUS". This was just a delight for everyone. I have told this story many times to people and they are all delighted to think of how their little minds work. I think it is the best Christmas story. Uma Historia de Natal Por Joan Varosky A minha sobrinha e o marido tem tres criany1s, Brendan, 6 anos, Alexandra, 5 e Michaela com 3 anos. Todos os anos, na vespera do Natal, elas convidam a familia e amigos para uma visita. No ano passado a casa estava cheia de gente e as criany1s estavam a entreter os convidados com as suas can~oes de Natal quando entrou um casal com um bebe num carrinho. Bom, as duas raparigas correram para a porta, muito excitadas e repetindo "MENINO JESUS","MENINO JESUS"! Nao largavam o bebe. Continuam a segurar o carrinho. Finalmente, a mie trouxe o bebe para a sala e po-lo no chao. As raparigas estavam noutro mundo. Podia ver-se pelo brilho nos seus olhos, o "MENINO JESUS" viera a casa delas. Depois de alguns minutos de excita~o todos · comey1mos a pensar qual seria a razao para elas pensarem que aquela crianyt era o Menino Jesus e porque que e que Ele viera visit:a-las. Ent:ao a minha sobrinha veio sala e disse que tinha estado a explicar aos filhos que o Natal nao era so ter presentes do Pai Natal, que nos celebramos o nascimento do Menino Jesus. Dai, nas suas pequenas cabey1s, o Menino Jesus tinha vindo a casa delas para celebrar o seu aniversario. No fim de contas, havia uma festa e a familia e os amigos estavam la. Todos ficamos impressionados que a Michaela, que ao tempo tinha dois anos, tivesse tido tal pensamento. No dia de Nat al t omamos o pequeno almo~o com as criany1s e depois abrimos presentes. Quando chegamos para o pequeno alm~o, elas vieram correndo para a porta explicando-nos que o Menino Jesus tinha vindo a casa delas na noite anterior para celebrar o Seu aniversario. Podeis imaginar como as duas avos e bisavos tinham lagrimas nos olhos enquanto as criany1s lhes ex plicavam sobre o Menino Jesus. Isto foi uma delida para toda a gente. Tenho contado esta historia as pessoas, muitas vezes e todos ficam maravilhados como a mente das criany1s trabalha por vezes. Penso que esta e a melhor historia de Natal de sempre. a 14 �We welcome the new members of our parish familyOamos parabens aos, recentemente baptizados.

Text Any textual data included in the document The Christmas season stimulates many reactions in our hearts. There is the dread that we non-shoppers feel as we consider how to survive the process of deciding what t o buy and how to do it as painlessly as possible. There is the annoyance with t he world as every year they hijack the feast of the gift of the Lord to be a marketing tool for their profit-making schemes. There is the wonder as we gaze upon our children with their dreams of Santa Claus and his gifts and their learning of Jesus and His gifts. There is the exhaustion as we roam from store to store, party to party, house to house! decorating, cooking, cleaning, and planmng. There is the joy of happy memories of Christmas spent in the innocence of our younger years. There is the sadness as we spend this Christmas without loved ones who made past Christmases so special. In paragraph 464 the Catechism of the Catholic Church help~ us to put the feast of Christmas in correct perspective: "The Word became flesh to make us partakers of the divine nature. For this is why the Word became a man, and the Son of God became the Son of Humanity: so that humanity, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving sonship and daughtership, might become a child of God. For the Son of God became a man so that we might become God. The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in His divinity, assumed our nature, so that He, made human, might make humans gods." We wish each other a "Merry Christmas". Synonyms for "merry" are: mirthful, hilarious, gleeful, blithe, gay, jolly, and jovial. These words should help us to contemplate the wondrous gift of our God and reaction to it. God loves us so much that He sent His only-begotten Son to live with us as The Sign of His love. We are safe, precious, and free. As we face the dark days of winter we erupt with mirth, laughter, and joy as we realize that God is love and dwells with us. So, as we do all the stuff associated with this time of year, let us take time to contemplate our magnificent God, His gift to us in Jesus, and the peace and joy that is ours forever, no matter what the winter or fate should bring us. Have a Merry Christmas with each other and with the Lord. We would like to thank St. Anthony's parish and especially Fr. Frank Glynn and Gerry McDonald for all their kindness and support that was shown to our Troop. We felt very welcome. We would like to tell everyone how special you made us feel. We are sorry to say we will be unable to hold our troop this year due to a shortage of leaders. We hope that sometime in the near future we will be able to return. Thank you.

HIGH.:.BLOOD PRESSURE Evelyn Hazel, RN Hypertension is the result of persistent high arterial blood pressure, which may cause damage to the vessels and arteries of the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes. The entire circulatory system is affected since it becomes increasingly more difficult for the blood to travel from the heart to the major organs. Multiple blood pressure readings are taken to establish an average and then analyzed by a physician to determine hypertension. You may have symptoms of headache, blurring of vision, or chest pains, but in some cases you may not have any symptoms at all. Modern life styles tend to increase blood pressure causing hypertension. Some of the known factors include a high salt intake, excessive alcohol consumption, and obesity. Genetic factors may also influence this disease. Primary hypertension is the most common type and a healthier life style and medication generally improve it when needed. Secondary hypertension is the result of a disorder or abnormality of the kidney, adrenal gland or other vital organ. This less common type of hypertension is often treated surgically. Hypertension may also occur during pregnancy and require special attention. Arteriosclerosis, a fatty build-up, also call plaque, develops in the damaged arterial wall, clogging the flow of blood throughout the artery. Blood clots may form more easily and become dangerous if dislodged. Under increasing blood pressure, a weakening of the artery wall may balloon out (aneurysm) and break, causing blood loss, tissue damage, and even death. Often, the cause of high blood pressure is unknown, but certain factors can place people at risk. If you have high blood pressure, take steps to get it under control, but always check with your health care provider before you begin any diet or exercise/weight-loss program. Eat smart, lose weight, exercise regularly, don't smoke, or quit if you do, limit alcohol, reduce stress, take the medication you've been prescribed. High blood pressure, if left uncontrolled, can lead to more serious health problems like: enlargement of the heart, hardening of the arteries, stroke, heart attack, kidney damage. Late on Christmas Eve, I sank back into my easy chair, tired but content. The kids were in bed, the gifts were all wrapped, a nd the milk & cookies waited by the fireplace for Santa. As I sat back admiring the tree with its decorations, I couldn't help feeling that something important was missing. It wasn't long before the tiny tree lights lulled me to sleep. I don't know bow long I slept but all of a sudden, I knew I wasn't alone. I opened my eyes, and you can imagine my surprise when I saw Santa Claus himself standing next to my C hristmas tree. He was dressed all in fur from bead to foot, just as the poem described him, but be was not the "Jolly Old Elf' of Christmas legend. The man who stood before me looked sad and disappointed and there were tears in his eyes. "Santa, what's wrong?" I asked. "Why are you crying?" "It's the children," Santa replied sadly. "But Santa, the children love you," I said. " Oh, I know t hey love me, and they love the gifts I bring them," Santa said, "but the children of today seem to have somehow missed out on the true spirit of C hristmas. It's not their fault. It's just that the adults, many of them not having been taught themselves, have forgotten to teach the children." "Teach them what?" I asked. Santa's kind old face became softer and more gentle. His eyes began to shine with something more than tears. He spoke softly. "Teach the children the true meaning of Christmas. Teach them that the part of Christmas we can see, bear, and touch is much more than meets the eye. Teach them the symbolism behind the customs and traditions of Christmas that we observe. Teach them what is truly important and what the symbols represent. Santa reached into bis bag, pulled out a tiny Christmas tree and set it on my mantel. "Teach them about the Christmas tree. Green is the second color of Christmas. The stately evergreen, with its unchanging color, represents the hope of eternal life in Jesus. Its needles point heavenward as a reminder that man's thoughts should turn heavenward as well." Santa reached into his bag again, pulled out a shiny star, and placed it at the top of the small tree. "The star was the heavenly sign of promise. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of the fulfillment of that promise on the night that Jesus Christ was born. Teach the children that God always fulfills his promises, and that wise men still seek Him." "Red" said Santa, "is the first color of Christmas." He pulled forth a red ornament for the tiny tree. "Red is deep, intense, vivid. It is the color of the life-giving blood that flows through our veins. It is the symbol of God's greatest gift. Teach the children that Christ gave his life and shed his blood for them that they might have eternal life. When they see the color red it should remind them of that most wonderful gift." Santa found a silver bell in his pack and placed it on the tree. "Just as lost sheep are guided to safety by the sound of the bell, it continues to ring today for all to be guided to the fold. Teach the children to follow the one true Shepherd, who gave His life for the sheep." Santa placed a candle on the mantel and lit it The soft glow from its tiny flame brightened the room. "The glow of the candle represents how man can show his thanks for the gift of God's son that Christmas Eve long ago. Teach the children to follow in Christ's footsteps. To go about doing good. Teach them to let their light so shine before men that all may see it and glorify God. This is what is symbolized when the twinkling lights shine on the tree like hundreds of bright, shining candles, each of them representing one of God's precious children, their light shining for all to see." Again Santa reached into his bag and this time he brought forth a tiny red and white striped cane. As he hung it on the tree he spoke softly. "The cane is a stick of hard white candy. White is to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and the hard candy symbolizes the Solid Rock, the foundation of the church, and the firmness of God's promises. The candy cane is in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It also represents the crook of the Good Shepherd, which He uses to reach down into the darkest corners of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who have gone astray. The original candy cane had three small red stripes, which represent the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. The large red stripe represents the blood Jesus shed, so that we may have the promise of eternal life if we believe in Him. Teach these things to the children Santa then brought out a beautiful wreath made of fresh, fragrant greenery and tied with a bright red bow. "The bow serves to remind us of the bond of perfection, which is love. The wreath embodies all the good things about Christmas for those with eyes to see and hearts to understand. It contains the colors of red and green and the heaven-turned needles of the evergreen. The red bow tells the story of goodwill towards all, binding us all together with love, and its color reminds us of Christ's sacrifice. Even its very shape is symbolic, representing eternity and the eternal nature of Christ's love. It is a circle, without beginning and without end. These are the things you must teach the children." "But where does t hat leave you Santa?" I asked. The tears gone now from his eyes, a smile broke over Santa's face. "Why bless you, my dear," he laughed, " I'm only a symbol myself. I represent the spirit of family fun and the joy of giving and receiving. If the children are taught these other things there is no danger that I will ever be forgotten." "I think I'm beginning to understand at last," I replied. "That's why I came," said Santa. "You a re an adult. It is your responsibility. If you don't take t he time to teach the children what Christmas is really all about, then who will?" THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING AND WE HAVE ADDED A NEW PAGE TO THE NEWSPAPER. HERE ARE A FEW TRIED AND TRUE RECIPES. ENJOYHH!!!!!!!!!! Carmelized Nuts Spinach Squares Christmas Codfish THE ST. VINCENT dePAUL SOCIETY The St. Vincent dePaul Society is an international organization founded in 1833 by a young man named Frederick Ozanam along with some of his fellow college students. (Frederick Ozanam was canonized recently by Pope John Paul II). Under the patronage of St. Vincent dePaul, today the society includes almost 900,000 members spread among 46,000 confraternities in 130 countries. Who was St . Vincent dePaul? Bor n in Gascony, Fra nce, in 1581, Vincent attended t he universit ies of Dax and Toulouse. It is said that Vincent was seized by pirat es while going from Marseilles to Narbonne in 1606. Sold into slavery in Tunisia, he escaped and returned to France some months later. He spent some 20 years as a parish priest and chaplain to an aristocratic family. He was also Chaplain General of the galleys of France and as such tried to aid the galley slaves. In 1617 he founded the first Confraternity of Charity, made up of wealthy women working among the sick and poor near Lyon, France. With the support of the family with whom he served as chaplain, Vincent founded the Congregation of the Mission to preach to the peasants in the family's estates. A community of the congregation was formally established at the college of Bon-Enfants in Paris in 1626 where Vincent served as principal. The alternate name of Lazarist Fathers was given to the group when it established its headquarters in the former priory of St. Lazare in Paris in 1632. Vincent not only headed the order, but also founded several other charitable organizations, most notably the Daughters of Charity in 1633. The founding hospital in Paris owes its origin to this group. The congregation of Missions organized several seminaries for t he training of priests as a result of the work done by Vincent with young men about t o be ordained. He was also concerned with relief work during the religious wars in France. Vincent died in 1660. He was canonized in 1737 and was named patron of works of charity in 1855. St. Vincent dePaul's feast day is September 27th• The society's purpose is to provide direct aid to those who suffer, and to help individuals reduce and even eliminate the cause of their suffering. Earliest records show that St. Anthony's Society was organized in 1925 and has been active ever since, helping the needy of our parish by bringing food to the poor and visiting the elderly, the lonely and the sick. As part of a larger organization, we are sometimes asked to help the needy in other parts of the world. This is done through financial contributions, food and clothing collections, all donated by our parishioners. Living Will or Health Care Proxy By Bea Hogan Did you know that the State of Massachusetts does not recognize a "Living Will"? Only a "Health Care Proxy" is formally recognized by Massachusetts Law. While interviewing Attorney Linda J. Robbins, I asked her what the difference was between a "Living Will" and a "Health Care Proxy". Attorney Robbins stated that a " Living Will" is a document that specifically details a person's preference about life support. A "Health Care Proxy" is a legal document under Massachusetts's law that enables you to choose a Health Care Agent. A Health Care Agent is a person who speaks for you if you ever become incapable of taking part in planning the course of your own medical care. Unlike a will, which is a private document and usually no one knows what's in it until after the person has died, Attorney Robbins says that the more people who have your "Health Care Proxy" the better. Your Doctor should have a copy of your "Health Care Proxy", as well as knowing the substance of the discussions you have had with your Health Care Agent and how t o get in touch with him or her. I n most cases, the Health Care Agent would be a family member or close friend. He or she should be someone whose judgment you trust and who would be comfortable with the responsibility. Many factors enter into deciding who should be your Health Care Agent. For instance, some people would be too emotional to take on the responsibility of being a Health Care Agent. You would have to talk to the person whom you would want to be your agent and make him or her understand what your wishes are should you become incapable of stating them yourself. You should focus your discussion; try to think about what another person would need to know about you in order to make decisions that are consistent with your values and preferences. It is important for you to recommend an alternate Health Care Agent in case your agent cannot be reached. You would also want to discuss your values and preferences with this person. You will want to discuss what you are putting in your health care proxy with as many family members as possible, thereby, making no mistake about your wishes. Be very clear and concise when discussing this matter with others. A lawyer would not be needed t o help you complete the form t hat is available at most hospitals and senior centers. Therefore, I asked Attorney Robbins what would be the advantage of hiring a lawyer to help with the " Health Care Proxy". Attorney Robbins stated that an attorney would "fine tune" the "Health Care Proxy" to meet the person's needs. An Attorney would also be able to answer any legal questions you may have concerning the "Health Care Proxy". Finally, an Attorney would be able to create a document that gives a person peace of mind. A CHRISTMAS STORY By: Joan Varosky My niece and her husband have three children Brendan 6, Alexandra 5 and Michaela 3. Every Christmas Eve they have a wonderful open house for family and friends to stop by. Last Christmas Eve the house was full of people and the children were entertaining the guests with their Christmas songs when the front door opened and in came a couple with a baby in a car seat. Well, the two girls went flying to the door and were very excit ed and kept saying "BABY JESUS"," BABY JESUS"! They would not let the baby go. They kept holding on the t o car seat. Finally the Mother made her way into the living room and put the baby on the floor. The girls were all excited. They were just in another world. You could see the gleam in their eyes that " BABY JESUS" had come to their house. Well after a few minutes of this excitement we were all wondering what made them believe that is was "BABY JESUS" and he had come to their , ouse. Well my niece finally made it into the room nd explained to us that she had been explaining to the three children that Christmas is just not getting resents from Santa, w e celebrate the birth of " BABY JESUS". So in their little minds "BABY JESUS" had come to their house to celebrate his birthday. After all, it was a party and family and friends were there. Everyone was just so amazed that Michaela who was two at the time had his thought in her mind. On Christmas Day we have breakfast with the children and then open presents. When we arrived to have breakfast, they came to the door explaining to us the "BABY JESUS" came to their house last night to celebrate his birthday. If you could imagine the two grandmothers and great-grandmothers had tears in their eyes as they proceeded to explain about "BABY JESUS". This was just a delight for everyone. I have told this story many times to people and they are all delighted to think of how their little minds work. I think it is the best Christmas story. Jose C.

Description An account of the resource The items in this collection relate to the Leite and Loureiro families, two families who lived in Lowell, MA. The photographs mostly cover life in Lowell from the first half of the 20th century. Both families contributed to the cultural vibrancy of the local Portuguese American community. Biographical Note Among Lowell’s prominent Portuguese families, the Leite and Loureiro families, spanning several generations, with roots in mainland Portugal, Graciosa in the Azores, and Brazil, have contributed to the city’s workforce and trade unions, and, significantly, to its politics and culture. Notable figures include Belarmino and John Leite, father and son. Beginning in the 1940s, Belarmino led Lowell’s Portuguese Colonial Band. And John Leite, the long-time president of the Merrimack Valley Musicians Union, AFL-CIO, was a graduate of Lowell High School and Lowell State Teachers College, and a well-known professional horn player and band leader. Moreover, the Loureiro branch of the family in this collection has ties to U.S. Representative Lori Loureiro Trahan, who was born in Lowell in 1973, grew up in Lowell’s “Back Central,” Portuguese neighborhood, and was elected to the U.S. Congress in 2018. She is the first Portuguese-American female to serve in Congress. Roots of the Leite family in Lowell date to the early 1910s, when two young brothers, Joao and Belarmino Leite, immigrated from Brazil. Their parents were from Graciosa. Manuel da Cunha Leite (b.1855) married Maria Isabel do Gloria Cordeiro (b. 1852) in 1876 in the village of Praia. They had nine children, eight born in Praia or in nearby Fonte do Mato, before they moved to Bahia, Brazil around 1900. In 1905 their youngest child, Adalice Teodomira da Cunha Leite (1905-1980), was born in Bahia. Seeking other opportunities, one of the sons, Joao (b.1886) immigrated to the United States and settled in Lowell where, by 1911, he worked in a textile mill. About one year later the youngest son, Belarmino (1892-1970) joined his brother in Lowell and also found work in a cotton mill. In 1913, Belarmino married Violante J. Sousa (1894-1979), also from Praia on Graciosa. The wedding was at St. Anthony’s Church in the Back Central neighborhood, where they resided. Violante Leite also worked in a cotton mill and had two daughters, Wilhemina, born in 1914, and Mary L., born in 1926. In the 1920s with the closing of a number of Lowell’s large cotton mills, Belarmino and Violante, with their two daughters, moved to Manchester, New Hampshire. They found employment in the large Amoskeag Cotton Mill, with Belarmino working in the highly skilled job of loom fixer and Violante working as a spinner. They had two more children, Helena Cunha, born in 1929 and John J., born in 1933. The Leite family returned to Lowell in the late 1930s, settling in a home on Bowden Street in South Lowell. Belarmino, who continued working in the textile industry as a loom fixer, was a self-taught trombone player. In 1940 he and fellow musicians from Graciosa revitalized the Portuguese Colonial Band. The band soon became well-known in Lowell, playing various standards, as well as compositions and orchestrations by band members. They were successful enough that they had their own building, called the Portuguese Band Club, on Charles and Chapel streets. (In 1954 this building became the Portuguese-American Center, later known as the “Blues” Club.) Joining the Colonial Band in 1948 was Belarmino’s 15-year-old son, John, who had learned to play the trumpet. John Leite also played in the Lowell High School Band and after graduation he joined the U.S. Army, serving in post-war Germany. Learning the bass trombone, Leite played in the famous Seventh Army Symphony, founded in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1952 by composer and conductor Samuel H. Adler. It was here that Leite met and played with David Amram, a French Horn player. They became lifelong friends with Amram gaining a national reputation as a composer, jazz musician, and friend of Jack Kerouac, as well as other cultural and literary figures of the “Beat Generation.” After completing his military service John Leite returned to Lowell and matriculated at Lowell Normal School (a state teachers’ college). Upon graduation he obtained a job teaching music in a public school in Milton, Massachusetts. Leite married Melba L. Macleod, also a graduate in music from Lowell Normal School. Around 1960, he became a full-time musician playing in various bands across the country, although much of his playing and conducting was in New England. A member of the American Federation of Musicians, AFL-CIO since 1955, Leite became Secretary-Treasurer of the Lowell local and after its merger with other locals in the Merrimack Valley in 1995, he was elected president of AFM Local 300. Leite continues to perform and teach music, along with his wife, at his home studio in Lowell. Through marriage, the Louriero and Leite families are connected. Although at least one Portuguese family with the name Loureiro lived in Lowell in the early 1900s, Antonio Augusta Silva Loureiro (1892-1959) was born in Portugal and married Rosa de Freitas de Melo (b.1890) in or around the city of Porto. They had a son, Fernando de Freitas Loureiro (1914-1971), born in Figueira da Foz, south of Porto, followed some years later by a daughter Rachel (b.1935). In 1935 Antonio and his wife immigrated to the United States and settled in Lowell. Fernando Loureiro moved to Brazil, but immigrated to the United States in 1943 and resided with his parents in the Back Central neighborhood. His father, a stone cutter at Fletcher’s Quarry in nearby Westford, Massachusetts, obtained a job for his son at this same quarry. In 1944 Fernando Loureiro wed Adalice “Alice” Teodomira da Cunha Leite, who was the aunt of John Leite, and had been living in Lowell since 1921, while working as a weaver in various textile mills. They had a son, Antonio, “Tony,” and for many years they resided with Fernando’s parents in a home on Chapel Street in Back Central. Fernando worked as a carpenter and in 1960 purchased a home on nearby Cady Street. By 1960 he left the carpentry trade and became president of the Portuguese American Center. Their son Tony attended Lowell public schools, graduated from Lowell High School, got a job as an iron worker and became active in the International Association of Ironworkers Local 7, AFL-CIO. Tony Loureiro married Linda Sousa, a granddaughter of John F. Sousa, who was from the Azores and immigrated to the United States in 1879, settling in Lowell two years later. He became an important figure in the city’s Portuguese community and played a key role in the founding of St. Anthony’s parish in 1901. Among the children of Tony and Linda Sousa was Lori, who was born in 1973, attended Lowell’s public schools, and graduated from Lowell High School. Lori Loureiro received an athletic scholarship at Georgetown University and, after graduation, she worked for Congressman Marty Meehan, rising to the position of Chief of Staff. In 2016, she ran as a Democrat for U.S. Congress in Massachusetts’ 3rd Congressional District (formerly held by Meehan) and won by more than 60 percent of the vote. Reelected in 2018, Lori Trahan (her married name) is the first Portuguese-American female member of Congress.
