The Portuguese Holy Ghost Society of Stonington, located at 26 Main St., is a community organization with deep historical roots, celebrating the traditions and heritage of the Portuguese people. Established over a century ago, it serves not only as a social hub but also as a venue for religious observances commemorating the benevolence of Queen Isabella and the feeding of the famine-stricken Portuguese in the 16th century.

Through annual events, including the symbolic procession to St. Mary Church, the Society honors its legacy while fostering a sense of community among descendants of its founders. The Society also features local artwork, including paintings by Susan Noyes, further enriching its cultural offerings.
