In March, Rev. Dr. Paul. Daniel Sr. was awarded honorary doctorates in Theology and Divinity from 20 universities in Haiti, recognizing his profound impact on faith and community. In response to this great honor, his church, North Shore Evangelical Missionary Church, held a special celebration on Sunday, March 30, to recognize their beloved Senior Pastor and his unwavering dedication to ministry.

The event featured a video montage highlighting Rev. Daniel’s journey and the steadfast support of his family. His wife, Rev. Myreille, delivered a powerful message on humility, reflecting the spirit of service that defines his leadership. His sons shared heartfelt words in honor of their father, and his daughter directed the choir, which filled the room with a moving musical tribute. The celebration began and ended with prayers led by fellow clergy members, setting a reverent and joyful tone.

During the ceremony, a citation was presented to Rev. Daniel on behalf of the Everett City Council in recognition of his contributions. State Representative Joe McGonagle, the event’s sole elected official, also presented a citation on behalf of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. The church further honored Rev. Daniel with a plaque, symbolizing the deep appreciation of the congregation.

Following the ceremony, attendees enjoyed light refreshments, sharing in the joy of this special occasion. Congratulations to Rev. Dr. Paul Daniel Sr. and the entire church community for this well-deserved recognition of a leader who continues to inspire and uplift.
