This year at St. Michael Parish, we have had many visitors whom have commented on how we, as parishioners are so blessed to have such a welcoming parish! Join me in welcoming Bishop Antonio Sousa Braga!
Bishop Braga of Angra do Heroismo, and islands of the Azores; will be presiding over the 10:30am Portuguese Mass, October 13, 2013. Both English and Portuguese choirs will be joining together in song!
This past Summer, I attended the Portuguese festival in Saugus where Bishop Braga was also visiting. He is truly an extraordinarily spiritual and humble man who started his spiritual journey at the age of 13! He is originally from Santa Maria. He has traveled from Portugal to Rome, and then Lisbon, studying philosophy, theology, and social sciences; in the pursuit of his spiritual journey. Bishop Braga was ordained as bishop in 1996.
