On October 16, the Brazilian community of Gloucester will be celebrating the feast of their patroness, Our Lady Aparecida. The actual day of the feast is Oct. 12, but we’ll be having a mini-procession, Mass, and celebration on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 6:30PM at St. Ann’s. Our Mass in Portuguese will also have some things in English, so the English-speaking community is also welcome. In preparation for the celebration, parishioners are meeting at houses of different families in the Brazilian communities to pray, sing, and share some food. Here’s a photo at one of the houses. The little statue of "Nossa Senhora Aparecida" is in the blue box in the middle:
