Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Catholic Church in Cambridge, MA

Try St. Anthony's, in Cambridge.  The church,  I believe was established in the 
early 1900's.  it is listed on the Archdiocese of Boston webpage as a 
Portuguese ethnic Church.

I am the granddaughter of Mary P. I have a great deal of information.  The 
first Mary died as an infant.  There were 7 not six children.  My grandmother 
was named after her older sister who died as an infant.  Was your grandfather 
William he died in 1918.  I believe the other brother, john, was left with 
medical problems as a result of the 1918 epidemic.  I am the daughter of 
Florence Phillipa. I lived with my grandparents and spent a lot of time with my 
grandmothers relatives.  The great grandparents and other relatives are buried 
a the calavery cemetery in Gloucester, ma.
