Holy Ghost Society 75th Anniversary Booklet (1998)

1998-09-26

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.
