2026 FEAST OF THE HOLY GHOST
SAT, SEPT 5
ENTERTAINMENT & FOOD IN COURTYARD
SUN, SEPT 6
APPROX. 11:30AM
FORMAL PROCESSION FROM ST MARY CHURCH FOLLOWED BY COMPLEMENTARY TRADITIONAL PORTUGUESE MEAL, AUCTION OF SWEETBREADS, MUSIC, ETC.
OPEN TO ALL
In Stonington and throughout the world, the feast centers on the religious ceremony during which the crown and scepter are blessed and the symbolic crowning takes place, recalling the descent of the Holy Ghost upon Queen Saint Isabel centuries ago. After the coronation, the people joyously partake in the feast at the grounds of the Holy Ghost hall with music and traditional foods. The afternoon is filled with an auction of locally baked sweetbread, seafood, and other specialties.
Finally, as the evening arrives, the celebration concludes with the drawing of those seven people whose homes will be blessed by the crown and scepter during the coming year and the person selected as the holder of the Seventh Dominga becomes the sponsor (mordome) of next year’s feast.

The Imperial Band, later called the Stonington Band, on Hancox Street in Stonington Borough at the time of World War I. (From South of the Cannons, the Portuguese Families of Stonington, Connecticut)
‘South of the Cannons', a new Stonington Historical Society book, tells of Portuguese who came from the Azores starting in the 1840s, creating a vital community on Connecticut side of the Atlantic
The Stonington Historical Society has published a new book by a local genealogist, Henrietta Mello Mayer. The book, “South of the Cannons, the Portuguese Families of Stonington, Connecticut,” has been a long-time project of the author, who was born on Omega Street in the community she writes about, the southern portion of Stonington Borough when it was a primarily Portuguese neighborhood. This new version of a book she published privately in 1978 is richly illustrated with photographs, some never put between covers before.
To order the book direct from the Historical Society, use this link: www.stoningtonhistory.org, then go to the tab for buying books.
