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.

'llnjaifing Prayer to St. .9Lntfwny 0 good and gentle Saint Anthony, your love of God and concern for his creatures made you worthy, while on earth, to obtain many miracles from God. Corne to my help in this moment of trouble and anxiety. Your ardent love of God made you worthy to hold his Holy Infant in your arms. Whisper to him my humble request if it be for the greater glory of God and the salvation of my soul. Amen. Prayers to Saint .9Lntfwny of Padua for 'B[essings and (jraces 2?g,ceived 0 loving protector Saint Anthony of Padua, what could I offer you in return for my gratitude? I have nothing worthy of you, but may I present you all the praises, which the whole world has bestowed on you for many centuries. All your admirable graces and prodigies which you poured on all humanity without making any exception of creed. I thank you from my heart for all these. May I ask you to thank for me God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and the most Holy Virgin Mary for ever more. Amen. Prayer of Confidence Hail to you O Saint Anthony; you are a channel of graces. Jesus is with you. You are looked upon as the most admirable son of your Seraphic Father Saint Francis. 0 Saint Anthony, the great miracle worker of all times, pray for all sinners and for me in particular, the most unworthy of your devotees, pray always for me especially in obtaining these graces which I am asking. In return, I promise to help those who are in need through the devotion of St. Anthony. Amen. �Prayer for ~ami[ies God, our Father, loving and merciful, bring together and keep all families in perfect unity of love and mutual support. Infuse in each member the spirit of understanding. Keep quarrels, bitterness, and pettiness far from them, and for all their occasional failures instill forgiveness and peace. May the mutual love and affection of parents be a source of loving obedience and discipline. Instill in children such self-respect that they may respect others, obey their parents and those in authority and grow in mature independence and the tender joys of friendship. Make the mutual affection and respect of families a sign of Christian life here and here-after, through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. Prayer before the Crucifix Good and gentle, Jesus, I kneel before you. I see and I ponder your five wounds. My eyes behold what David prophesied about you: "They pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones." Engrave this image of yourself. Fulfill the yearning of my heart: give me faith hope, and love, repentance for my sins, and true conversion of life. Amen. Prayer of Parents Most loving Father, the example of parenthood, you have entrusted our children to us to bring them up for you and prepare them for everlasting life. Assist us with your grace, that we may fulfill this sacred duty with competence and _love. Teach us what to give and what to withhold. Show us when to reprove, when to praise, and when to be silent. Make us gentle and considerate, yet firm and watchful. Keep us from the weakness of indulgence and the excess of severity. Give us the courage to be disliked sometimes by our children, when we must do necessary things which are displeasing in their eyes.

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.

Intense popular devotion to the Holy Ghost, uncommon in other Catholic countries, is profoundly central to the re ligious lives of the Azorean people. The Holy Ghost, the third person of the Blessed Trinity in Roman Catholic theology, is considered to be almost a separate deity in the Azores, where He is personified as a deified human being, and presented as a powerful male . In the Azores, the symbol of the Holy Ghost, the "Coroa", a silver crown with a dove with outstretched wings on top, combines the dove -- the traditional Catholic symbol of the Holy Ghost with the Portuguese imperial crown, a symbol of secular power and authority. The configuration of religious activities appropriate to these Holy Ghost celebrations are specific to the Azores. Many popular legends, told over and over during the celebrations, attribute the origins of these Festas to Saint Isabel , the wife of King Dom Dinis, and Queen of Portugal from 1295 to 1322. Saint Isabel was born in the year 1271, and from her earliest years displayed a deep faith and piety to God. From the time she married Dom Dinis until her death, she was revered throughout her kingdom for her acts of charity, humility and devotion to her God and his people. She was known as "the angel of charity," by her subjects for her devotion to the poor. She was also known as "the mother of peace." Because of her intervention in the hour of battle when she, unaccompanied, entered a battlefield, and reconciled kings and princes thus ending the horror of war. After this great act of bravery and Christian love she returned to her home village of Alenquer. One night, in a dream, a voice from Heaven proclaimed that Queen Isabel should establish a brotherhood of the Holy Ghost in thanksgiving for the peace obtained and build a church in honor of the Holy Ghost in the village. The next morning the Queen attended Mass and during the Mass a vision appeared to ~er, further detailing the plans for the project she had seen in her dreams. Immediately, she met with the carpenters and workmen to begin work on the project and headed for the site indicated to her in her dreams. Miraculously, when they reached the designated site they found the foundation already formed and the plan of the building in outline. This unexplainable event was witnessed by her husband, the King, and the entire village of Alenquer. During the period of construction many miracles occurred, a sign that the work was divinely inspired. The work was rapidly completed and stands today as one of the most beautiful and richest chapels of the Holy Spirit in the world. The King ordered that the most precious and costly vestments and furnishings be used in the chapel and, with great pomp and solemnity, the first Mass was celebrated in the chapel on Pentecost Sunday. On th at day the sovereigns instituted the Brotherhood of the Holy Ghost" to insure that until the end of time there should never cease to exist the devotion to the Holy Ghost in the beautiful sanctuary in Alenquer. A solemn procession was part of that fi rst celebration, in which th e entire court and nobility took part. Games, tournaments and bullfights were part of the festivities. One of the statutes of the original brotherhood was that seven bulls highly orna mented, should be run and their meat, together with a loaf of bread would be distributed to the poor. Since that day, throughout these many centuries, the feast of the Holy Ghost has been celebrated in Alenquer with great devotion and festivities. Queen Isabel returned to the ch urch in Alenquer every year to offer a great candle which burned before the main altar during the octave of Pentecost. When a great famine and epidemic occurred in Lisbon and surrounding areas, including Alenquer, and many people were dying daily, a great penitential procession was held, during which the candle offered by the Queen was carried and immediately the epidemic began to diminish until it ended entirely. During the Pentecost season the Queen, as an act of humility, would wash the linens of the sick and poor of the village of Alenquer, in the local river. Many people witnessed this great act of devotion, and after her death the river was venerated and the waters were known to possess miraculous curative powers. Many miracles were attributed to Queen Isabel following her death on July 4, 1336. After her death, steps were taken to have Queen Isabel canonized a saint. On June 1, 1616 Pope Paul IV declared her blessed and gave permission to the people of Portugal to carry her crown and relics through the streets in solemn procession. From this original crown, worn by St. Isabel , have been fashioned the many crowns now in existence. Made of pure silver, they have on them the symbol of the Hol y Ghost, in the form of a dove on the top of the crown and on the sceptre, in memory of her great devotion to the third person of the blessed trinity. Over the years, many miracles were attributed to Queen Isabel , two of which were ex perienced by Pope Urbano Ill. On May 25 , 1625, Trinity Sunday, Pope Urbano Ill canonized Queen Isabel a saint. From the origina l brotherhood of the Holy Ghost, formed in Alenquer, there have been many brotherhoods established throughout the world wherever Azorean people have immigrated. Splendid feasts are planned -- meat and bread are distributed to the poor and members of the brotherhoods, solemn religious observances are held, members of the brotherhood are crowned in solemn ceremonies in the church and the day is spent feasting and rejoicing for the many blessings received from the Holy Ghost. Beginning at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century when the Azorean people started comi ng to this country, they brought with them the traditi on of the feasts of the Holy Ghosts. Since the arrival of the Portuguese people in Lowell, Massachusetts, feasts have been held . The Holy Ghost Society, Inc. was officia lly established 75 years ago on August 24, J 923. The purpose of the Holy Ghost Society was to furnish a place and means for the education and recreation of its members and for the social, re ligious and civic purposes among it's members. With the initial purchase of two and one half acres of land, th e society had a home. Over the years, the society has improved its facilities until now, where a beautiful hall and outdoor area is avai lable for the society to celebrate with great dignity the Feasts of the Holy Ghost. For seve nty five years the Holy Ghost has blessed and guided the Q1embers of the society and their families. We give th anks on this great milestone in the life of the society for the love of the Holy Ghost and ask for hi s continu ed blessings in th e future . �/11 grateful recognition of the 1/oly Ghost Socie(v for its many remarkable accomplishments 011 the occasion of its 75th Anniversary In loving Memory Of .lose Maria <, 879- 1957) and Christina do Ro.mrio /)uarte !vlaria Susllnna Sousa Cllldeira Rodrick Antonio Goncalves Caldeira Sousa 11 1Jos- 1•J•JoJ r JS<J6- J956!

Most lived in the vicinity of Charles Street in the “Back Central” neighborhood, which was home to St. Anthony’s Church and a number of Portuguese social and religious societies. Among the more prominent was the Holy Ghost Society, founded in 1907, by a group of Azorean immigrants. Rev. Joaquim V. da Rosa, from the island of Pico and the first pastor of St. Anthony’s, supported the Society’s establishment. The following year Fr. Rosa performed the Solemn Sunday Mass and coronation for the first Holy Ghost Festival in the city. A large procession with a band streamed down Central Street to a public hall where an overflowing crowd enjoyed sumptuous feast and beheld the finely crafted silver crown.<br /><br />Over the first decade membership in the Holy Ghost Society grew. Although the annual Holy Ghost Festival, held on Pentecost Sunday, was the major event sponsored by the Society, members engaged in a variety of religious and social activities, including concerts and dances. By the mid-1910s the Holy Ghost Society had amassed sufficient funds to maintain a headquarters in the Odd Fellows Hall on Middlesex Street. In 1924, seeking a larger space for its many activities, the Society, which had incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts a year earlier, purchased over four acres of land on Village Street on the outskirts of Lowell. Over the years, the Holy Ghost grounds featured a clubhouse with a large hall, an amphitheater, a playground, and a soccer field. Although Azoreans continued to be the largest group within the Society, Portuguese from Madeira, mainland Portugal, and Brazil had become members and several served in leadership roles.<br /><br />Beginning in 1959, Lowell’s Holy Ghost Society adopted a common practice at other Holy Ghost Festivals in the United States, the coronation of a queen, representing the Queen Saint Isabel, and the selection of two queen’s maids, all young women between the ages of 16 and 21. In addition to the coronation, the queen and her maids were a prominent part of the procession, standing on top of a colorfully decorated float, often towed, as was the popular custom, by a new convertible automobile.<br /><br />In its early years, the Holy Ghost Society was led exclusively by Portuguese men, some who worked in factories and others who ran small businesses. Nonetheless, female members planned many annual activities and special events as participants in a ladies’ auxiliary. Beginning in the 1940s, however, women served as officers and presidents. The first female president, Clara (Silva) Correia, had immigrated from Graciosa, settled in Lowell in 1905, and had worked many years as a weaver in a textile mill. She was succeeded as president some years later by one of the best known members of the Society, Gladys (Mendonça) Picanso, a community activist who owned a popular hairstyling business in Lowell.<br /><br />The Holy Ghost Society continues to sponsor the annual Holy Ghost Festival, along with other events and charitable activities. Many of these are held at Holy Ghost Park on Village Street. But these events, whether they are concerts, dances, or sporting and recreational games, some of which include non-Portuguese participants, exhibit a distinctly Portuguese flair.

Description An account of the resource Wherever Azorean communities exist, the Festas Do Espirito Santo, The Feast of the Holy Ghost, are celebrated with great devotion. Intense popular devotion to the Holy Ghost, uncommon in other Catholic countries, is profoundly central to the religious lives of the Azorean people. The Holy Ghost, the third person of the Blessed Trinity in Roman Catholic theology, is considered to be almost a separate deity in the Azores, where He is personified as a deified human being. This booklet celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Holy Ghost Society in Lowell, MA, which is connected with St. Anthony's Church. The Society also owns a physical space where events are held.
