Rev. Armand L. Morrissette, O.M.I.
Franco-American of the Year 1981
Lowell, Massachusetts
 

Affectionately known as “Father Spike”, Fr. Morissette’s numerous accomplishments have been recognized by many local, national and international organizations. A native Lowellian he never passed up the opportunity to talk about his Franco-American roots and the countless accomplishments of his forebears in shaping the city of Lowell. A regular contributor to Le Journal de Lowell, readers look forward to his column entitled “Faits et Gestes”. He is an honorary chaplain of the French Navy and often takes advantage of the occasion to introduce French sailors to Franco-Americans when their ship is docked in Boston.
