St. Joseph, Clarksburg. Pastor: Rev. Santiago Raudes. January 2021 Featured Parish. A brief history: Portuguese and Azorean pioneers flocked to the Freeport/Clarksburg area in the 1850’s. Their grit, religious beliefs, quiet and noble character, coupled with their willingness to embrace the grueling work necessary to improve life for their families, made them true heroes. Azoreans came to the Freeport/Clarksburg riverbanks for it’s fine water and fertile lands, following th...eir family members who had pioneered the way. According to the parish baptismal records, five hundred and ninety-one families from the Azores had children baptized here between the years 1893 and 1951. Engaged primarily in fishing and farming along the banks of the Sacramento River, these pioneers built a strong and vibrant community. Cultural traditions were very important to them. For over one hundred years, the Freeport/ClarksburgFesta has taken place every year on Trinity Sunday. The day begins with a procession from the I.D.E.S. Hall to St. Joseph’s Church. During Mass a girl dressed in a beautiful handmade cape and gown, representing St. Isabel, is crowned. After the church ceremony the procession returns to the hall where everyone is fed a meal of the traditional Sopas e Carne (bread and meat). The festivities continue throughout the entire afternoon.
