The effort supports the missionary work of “Father Joe” Corriveau, (OMI) a Winthrop native son, in Haiti.

 

 

The Rev. Real “Father Joe” Corriveau has long had support from his native Winthrop for his efforts as a missionary priest in Haiti.

Now, St. Francis Men’s Club at St. Michael Parish, Winthrop, is sponsoring a 24-month campaign to raise $250,000 to rebuild St. Anthony of Padua at Fond Oies in Haiti, the church where Corriveau was pastor when it was destroyed by a major earthquake in January 2010.
