�HISTORY

SAINT ANTHONY'S PARISH
Although in a study edited by Armando Cortesao of
the first cartographical representation of the new world
entitled, "The Nautical Chart of 1424", recently discovered in the huge bibliographical collection of the
late English statesman, Sir Thomas Phillips, conclusive
proof has been established that Portuguese reached
and inhabited these shores as early as 1424, it was
only during the great migration era of 1880, when the
flow of immigration from Europe increased greatly,
that Portuguese settlements of any extent were established in Massachusetts and later in the city of Lowell.
Peoples, races and groups have been in movement
as far back as history records. Opening up of new
lands, changing of climatic and economic conditions,
together with the opportunity for making a better way
of life for themselves and their loved ones, have led
people throughout the ages to leave the warmth and
security of their homelands and venture forward into
the unknown. Among these were the early Portuguese
immigrants who came principally from the Azores and
Madeira to settle here. In spite of the fertility and the
delightful climates of their islands, overpopulation,
lack of means with which to earn their livelihood, and
compulsory military service drove many of them to
the frigid but alluring land of opportunity in the west.
The fame of Lowell as the principal industrial center
of that time attracted many to our mills for employment. A census of the city of Lowell taken in 1912
reveals a Portuguese population of 2200 with a total
real estate valuation of $200,000.00.
Descendants of a race predestined by God to unveil
the secrets of mysterious seas. Sons of a country whose
paramount purpose throughout its brilliant era of discoveries and colonization was to implant the word of
God in the hearts of the peoples in the new islands
and new continents they had discovered, it was only
fitting that the first concerted movement of the colony
should be to establish a church in their beloved Catholic tradition. Here, far removed as they were from
the homeland, once more they could receive the consolation of the Sacraments and hear again the word of
God preached in their own familiar and beloved language. Here too, united in prayer and in the faith and
traditions so dear to their hearts, they might seek to-
gether the courage and fortitude to persevere in this
strange, disturbing land, so different from the quiet
beauty and solitude of their native villages.
In January 1901, a group of Portuguese men journeyed to East Cambridge to speak with Rev. Anthony
J. Pimentel, a Portuguese priest who had been sent ·
here by the Bishop of Angra in the Azores to labor
among the Portuguese settlements in East Boston and
Cambridge. Their request was that Father Pimentel
intercede with the proper Church authorities so that a
parish might be established in Lowell.
The first meetings were held in Fair Hall of Saint
Peter's parish during February and March of 1901.
Odd Fellows Temple was used until April of that year
and on the 19th of May the first church, a small white
wooden structure located at Congress and Gorham
Streets, purchased from the Primitive Methodists, was
dedicated and a parish numbering approximately 950
people was established. Father Pimentel, who throughout these months had journeyed weekly to Lowell to
administer to the spiritual needs of the faithful, turned
the administration of the new church over to Reverend Joaquim V. Rosa, recently arrived from the
Island of Pico in the Azores, who became the first
pastor of Saint Anthony's in Lowell. In 1905 Father
Paul Despouy, still remembered by many of our older
parishioners, came to Lowell as assistant to Father
Rosa. Despite his French origin, Father Despouy spoke
Portuguese fluently having spent the greater part of
his life in Portugal. Along with his work as assistant
in Lowell he interested himself zealously in the seven
hundred Portuguese of Lawrence for whom he built
the church of SS Peter and Paul, later becoming its
first pastor.
The little church on Gorham Street continued to
serve as a house of prayer until 1907, when continued
migration of Portuguese into the city necessitated the
acquisition of a larger church. Under the direction of
Rev. Father Rosa funds were raised throughout the
Portuguese colony for this purpose. Land on Central
street to erect a new church and rectory was purchased and construction commenced with the blessing
of the cornerstone by Archbishop William O'Connell
on November 28, 1907. The following year, on May
30, 1908, although only the basement of the original
structure had been completed, the church was officially
dedicated and opened for religious services when according to a front page account in "The Lowell Sun"
of May 31, 1908, statues and sacred vessels were
carried in solemn procession, through streets lined with
hundreds of parishioners, and deposited in the new
church.
Throughout these years Father Rosa was a devoted
and arduous worker for his people and he remained at
Saint Anthony's until 1911 when he returned to his
beloved island of Pico in the Azores, leaving the
Church in the hands of His Excellency Bishop Henry
Joseph Reed da Silva, Titular Bishop of Trajanopolis
in Phrygia and a first cousin of Dom Carlos, the then
reigning King of Portugal.
Bishop da Silva had come to this country to dedicate
a Portuguese church in the Fall River diocese. During
this time a crucial period developed in Portugal and
plans were completed for the overthrow of the monarchy. The assassination of his cousin, the King of
Portugal, resulted in his decision to remain in this
country until it was felt that it was safe for him to
return.
The church was administered by Bishop da Silva
from 1911 until 1924. With his departure for Portugal
on July 2nd of that year, it was left in the care of
Reverend Joseph T. Grillo, a native of Sao Miguel in
the Azores who had come to this country as a young
boy and who after long years of working and studying
had realized his dream of becoming a priest and had
been ordained in the Archdiocese of Boston in 1924.
Under Father Grillo's kind and loving guidance the
church continued to function. His payment of the
original debt involved years of patient effort and careful planning. Due to the Immigration Bill of 1921,
limiting entrance into this country on a quota basis
only, the Portuguese colony never reached the proportions anticipated by founders when they planned such
·a huge, cathedral-like church, and the original plans
were never completed. Lack of employment, due to
the removal of many of our textile mills to the south,
led to further depletion of the colony when many decided to depart for California where opportunities in
the fishing industry and dairy farming attracted them.
When during the year 1946 Father Grillo became
critically ill, the fear in his heart that the Portuguese
language would cease to be spoken in this church which
had been built with so many sacrifices and dreams,
and an awareness of the lack of Portuguese-speaking
priests in the archdiocese, prompted him to write to
the Bishop of Guarda in Portugal imploring him to
send one or more Portuguese priests to this country.
In answer to this appeal Reverend John F. Silva, our
present pastor, arrived in Lowell on March 22, 1947.
Later in October of the same year he was joined by
Reverend Manuel J. Cascais, present pastor of Saint
Anthony's church in Cambridge. Upon the death of
Father Grillo on November 6, 1948, Archbishop Richard J. Cushing appointed Father Silva as administrator
of Saint Anthony's in Lowell, the position which he
occupies at the present time.
During the years of Father Silva's very capable administration, the church has been completely transformed. The interior has been redecorated and a new
marble altar and altar railing, together with modern
comfortable pews, stations and stained glass windows
have been installed. A beautiful shrine in honor of Our
Lady of Fatima attracts many visitors daily and is a
great devotional source for the hundreds of parishioners who have a special devotion to Our Lady as she
appeared in Portugal to the three little children.
Now fifty years later, having recently completed a
very successful building fund campaign, the parishioners
of Saint Anthony's are anticipating the realization of
their dream of seeing their church completed. Construction is already under way on a new modern contemporary design that will raise the roof of the church,
transforming it into a functionally beautiful edifice
comparable with the new trend of church architecture
being constructed throughout the archdiocese.
Although many of the original settlers are still in
our midst the majority of parishioners now are American born children and grandchildren of those early
immigrants who arrived here. Pride in their descendancy from a race that contributed more than any other
to the spread of Christianity throughout the entire
world; ties with the language, the first they heard
spoken from the lips of their mothers and a loyalty to
carry on in the spirit of those first early Portuguese
who settled here, have led them to continue with the
work of completing this church dedicated to their great
Saint Anthony of Lisbon.
Thus we find ourselves in 1958 keeping faith with
those who have gone before us by preserving in a
cosmopolitan city such as ours, composed of people
from so many different countries, a trace of our own
religious culture and traditions.

An account of the resource
This collection of items come from the Archives held at Saint Anthony's Church in Lowell, MA. These items are kept in the Rectory and were organized by PADA archivists in 2021.<br /><br /><strong>Biographical Overview:</strong>
<p><span>For over two decades beginning in the 1870s, when Portuguese immigration to Lowell began to rise, most of the city’s Portuguese Catholics worshipped at St. Peter’s Church, a largely Irish and Irish-American parish. By the late 1890s the pastor of St. Peter’s arranged for Rev. Antonio J. Pimentel, of Boston and originally from Terceira in the Azores, to hold services for the Portuguese in a hall across the street from the church. With the Portuguese population approaching 1,000, a number of influential community members, notably Manuel P. Mello (1867-1938), from Graciosa, sought to establish their own parish. Rev. John Joseph Williams, Archbishop of Boston, supported this effort. Aided by Rev. Pimentel, Mello formed a committee, and, in 1900, began raising money for a church. One year later the committee had collected sufficient funds to purchase the abandoned Primitive Methodist Church, a wood-frame building on Gorham Street, built thirty years earlier. Dedicated on May 19, 1901, St. Anthony’s Church opened with Rev. Manuel C. Terra, the well-known pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Provincetown, celebrating the first High Mass with several hundred parishioners in attendance.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>In early 1902, Archbishop Williams appointed Joaquim V. Rosa as pastor at St. Anthony’s. Born on the island of Pico, Joaquim Vieira da Rosa (1872-1964) immigrated to the United States in 1896 and for several years he assisted the pastor at St. John’s Church in New Bedford. Rev. Rosa celebrated his first Mass at St. Anthony’s in January, 1902. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Soon after taking charge of St. Anthony’s, Rev. Rosa established or supported the creation of a number of parish organizations. This included the long-lived Holy Rosary Sodality and the Holy Ghost Society. In addition to his clerical duties, he also led numerous fund-raising programs. Father Rosa also ministered to Lawrence’s Portuguese and helped found that city’s Portuguese Catholic Church. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>In 1904, Archbishop Williams assigned Rev. Paul L. Despouy to assist Father Rosa at St. Anthony’s and to lead in establishing a Portuguese parish in Lawrence. At the same time Lowell’s growing number of Portuguese parishioners strained the capacity of the old wooden structure on Gorham Street and the search for a new church began. Once again, Manuel P. Mello played a major role in raising funds. Within two years, he and other parishioners had collected enough money to acquire land on Central Street across from the Lyon Street public school. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>With the purchase of property, Boston-based architect Timothy Edward Sheehan (1866-1933), designer of a number churches for the Archdiocese, executed the design of the new St. Anthony’s. On Thanksgiving Day, 1907, Archbishop William O’Connell presided over the dedication of the laying of the cornerstone.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>In 1908, with construction funds fully expended, only the granite walls and the floor of the basement were completed, and a flat roof was installed over the largely subterranean structure. Nevertheless, in May Father Rosa then celebrated the first Solemn High Mass. Joining him was Father Pimentel, who now led St. Anthony’s parish in Cambridge, Father Despouy, from his mission in Lawrence, and Rev. Manuel C. Terra of Provincetown. Although the rectory next to the church was finished and occupied by Father Rosa in 1908, funds to complete the construction of the highly ornate Mission-style church, following the original architectural design, remained insufficient. For the next 50 years, services continued to be held in the basement structure.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>In 1911 Rev. Rosa, suffering from poor health and fatigue, due in part to his strenuous duties in leading his parishioners, resigned his pastorate and returned to his native Pico. In an action that proved especially fortuitous for the parish Archbishop O’Connell appointed Bishop Henrique Jose Reed da Silva (1854-1930) to lead St. Anthony’s. Bishop da Silva’s life prior to his arrival in Lowell was quite unique.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Born in Lisbon, where he was educated and ordained a priest in 1879, the charismatic Bishop da Silva, fluent in several languages and a sacred music scholar who possessed a fine musical voice, quickly caught the attention of the Bishop of Portalegre, </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Maria_da_Silva_Ferr%C3%A3o_de_Carvalho_M%C3%A1rtens&action=edit&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>
