Our inaugural Chá e Carinho this past Sunday was everything we hoped it would be and more!

It was truly special to see avós, netos, parents, and friends gathered together, sharing stories, laughter, and creating memories across generations. The joy in the room was a beautiful reminder of the importance of preserving our culture, traditions, and family connections.

A heartfelt thank you to St Anthony Parish for generously allowing us to use the Parish Hall. Thank you to Fernando of NuExquisite Events for donating the beautiful linens and helping create such a welcoming atmosphere. We are incredibly grateful to our very own teacher, Miss Jessica DaSilva of Tábua DaSilva, for the stunning charcuterie table, and to Senhora Rosa Santos for the fabulous desserts that everyone enjoyed!

Thank you as well to Rancho Folclorico de Peabody for their amazing interactive performance that brought so much energy and fun to the afternoon. We are grateful for all they do to preserve such an important part of our Portuguese culture and heritage while inspiring and including the next generation.

Most importantly, thank you to all of the families who joined us and helped make this first event such a tremendous success!

We had so much fun that we completely forgot to take photos! If you took any pictures during the event, please share them in the comments or send them to us—we would love to see them and preserve these wonderful memories.

Thank you all for making our inaugural Chá e Carinho such a success. We look forward to continuing this tradition for many years to come!
