A Portuguese Promise “Uma Promessa” For Innocence
A Promise to God.
Manuel and Maria DaSilva, made a promise “uma promessa” for the innocence of children. They passed out sweet bread to all the parents with children under a certain age, after mass at Our Lady of Good Voyage.
The Portuguese Promise “Promessa”, is a tradition, I recall my mother making many, sometimes without any explanation, it was usually an act of charity.

A High Mass celebrated at Our Lady of Good Voyage, with Father Alves, followed by a Portuguese traditional meal “Sopas do Espirito Santo” at the DES Portuguese Club. This is a seven hundred year old Portuguese tradition, carried on primarily by the Azorean Communities all over the world.
This post is dedicated to my parents Anibal and Adelina Simoes and my proud Azorean heritage.

Barber was a Gloucester Fisherman, but after his wife died young, he worked for Gorton’s so he could care for his three children.
The Fighter below is of Don’s grandfather Joe Lacerda “Spats”, who was a long time barber in Gloucester.
