St. Anthony's Chapel

St. Anthony's Chapel
Baptized July 4, 1926
Norwich, CT

Built by a pious immigrant, Joseph C. Delgado, who wanted to become a priest but his family was too poor to send him to the Seminary. He came to the United States, married and raised 2 Daughters and 4 Sons. Joseph believed that everyone should do something to please God; so he erected the Chapel. The Chapel was opened to everyone who wanted to visit or worship; from all ethnic backgrounds.

St. Anthony's Chapel is a source of pride for the Delgado Family and the Cape Verdean Community. It is a legacy which is visible to all.

The Inscription on the Chapel, in Portuguese, reads:

A
Capela

foi baptisada no dia
4 de Julho do ano de 1926

Replica completed and blessed by Bishop Daniel P. Reilly on April 9, 2007
