Padre António Inácio Gomes. A name that echoes through the Largo bearing his name. He was the first parish priest of the Senhora do Porto parish. This bust, right here, immortalizes his dedication to this community. Padre Gomes’s influence on this area was profound. He served as a spiritual guide. He served as a community leader. He laid the foundation for the Senhora do Porto parish. His legacy lives on, not just in this bust but also in the heart of the community he served. October 27th marks a special day here. It is the Sunday closest to the anniversary of Padre Gomes’s passing. The community gathers to remember him. They also honor two other influential figures, D. Manuel Martins and P. Mário Salgueirinho. These men were friends and collaborators of Padre Gomes. Their shared vision helped shape the parish. Even Monsenhor Soares Jorge, a classmate of all three, participates in the remembrance. It’s a testament to the lasting impact these men had on the Senhora do Porto parish and the wider community. So, as you stand before this bust, take a moment to reflect on the dedication of Padre António Inácio Gomes. His life’s work is etched not only in bronze but also in the very fabric of this place.
