UPSES: 2025 Weekly Queen Bulletin
Join Us for Festa 2025 – A Celebration of Faith, Culture, and Community
The United Portuguese SES invites you to celebrate Festa 2025, a cherished annual tradition honoring Queen Saint Isabel of Portugal and the Holy Spirit. Beginning Sunday, April 27, 2025, and continuing each week through June 1, local families proudly host weekly masses and presentations, featuring their nominated Queens, Kings, courts, and attendants.
This multi-week celebration leads up to the grand Festa do Espírito Santo weekend, where generations come together to share in the Portuguese traditions that have united our community for over a century.
Each Sunday, witness the heartfelt devotion and pageantry of our younger generation as they carry on the legacy of their ancestors—through Mass, prayer, music, and celebration.
Festa Weekend 2025 will take place at UPSES Hall in San Diego’s Point Loma neighborhood. All are welcome to attend and participate in the celebration of faith, community, and culture.
We welcome you to be part of the tradition, whether it’s your first Festa or you’ve been coming for generations.
