(NOTE 1: St. John the Baptist, the oldest Portuguese church in North American, closed in November 2012, after 141 years of service). (NOTE 2: John Raposo or George, will you ask Fr. Joe what years he served? I took a guess). NOTE 3: Only the dates for the first and third pastors were given. I read the chapter on the history and put the dates there myself. The associate pastors were not mentioned that much. + means deceased (as of 1996) Pastors + Rev. Joao I. Azevedo Encarnacao (1871-1873) + Rev. Antonio de Mattos Freitas (1874-1886) + Rev.
