Celebrate Portuguese Heritage by joining in the city's oldest ethnic festival, Festa do Espirito Santo, that commemorates Portugal's Queen St. Isabel. Since 1922, our Portuguese colony here has made a procession (now a full parade) from our UPSES Hall chapel (i.e. capela) with our annual Queen Saint Isabel personage holding our community's Crown of the Holy Spirit, up to St. Agnes Church for a celebratory Mass followed by another procession/parade back down to our Hall afterward. Our chapel was built especially to hold our Holy Spirit Crowns during the Festa do Espírito Santo.
