I believe it is one of the society, like the I.D.E.S. in California. My Portuguese is not real good but I believe it is the Emigrates of Saint Christ. Now "de" could mean "the". I am not sure but you might check where she lived at because that group still might be around. Most of the Society have been around for years and year. I live in CA, in a small town Santa Cruz and we have several of groups like this and my great-grandparent help start some of these groups and like always you get involved at a young age. Most of the Society deal with "Festa" from the old country. I hope that helps
