Franco-Americans
We Remember

"Follow the rivers of New England and there you'll find the Franco-Americans."
They came to New England for the promise of a better life. They brought with them a commitment to their faith, their family and their community. They were at the heart of New England industry. Their beautiful churches grace the cities and mill towns where they worked, and their rich cultural traditions are bright strands woven into the fabric of New England life.
