On Leaving Gloucester From Ann Kennedy

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Dear Joey and All,

As usual, our days here have gone far too quickly and now it’s time to leave. Each day we experienced something special and have seen something more beautiful than the day before. We have loved eating in the restaurants, shopping in the shops, walking the neighborhoods and docks, hiking the woods and strolling the beaches. But most precious of all is having spent time with those who so generously have extended their friendship to us.

With thanks and best wishes to all for a wonderful summer, goodnight Gloucester!

A Portuguese Promise “Uma Promessa” For Innocence

IMG_2294A 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.

Fun to see a floating house installation, or whatever it’s called, and the conference center is a beautiful place to see sculpture in the trees.  What a terrific day on Cape Ann!
