Students from Haiti visit benefactors

“I was thrilled!” Christine Doyle, of St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Dudley, was raving about meeting Stephanie Vincent, whom she’s sponsored to attend school in Haiti. “I’ve had Stephanie as a student since 2010,” through the Worcester Diocese’s Haitian Apostolate education program, she said. They met for the first time Saturday at St. Mary Parish in Shrewsbury, at the 2019 Education Celebration for Haitian students and their benefactors. Bishop McManus celebrated a Mass, which was followed by a dinner at which awards were given to benefactors whose students were visiting. (Photos by Tanya Connor)
