Andre Nadeau Announcement
9/30/24
The Diocese of Manchester is pleased to share that Mr. Andre Nadeau will be ordained to the transitional diaconate by the Most Reverend Peter A. Libasci, D.D., Bishop of Manchester, on Saturday, January 11, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Anne Church in Good Shepherd Parish, Berlin, New Hampshire.
The diaconate is the first of three ranks of ordained ministry in the Catholic Church, which also include the priesthood and the episcopacy, or the ministry of a bishop. Men studying for the priesthood are ordained as transitional deacons prior to beginning their final year of seminary study. Deacons may preach at Mass, baptize, and celebrate weddings.
A native of Lancaster, NH, Mr. Nadeau is enrolled at Saint Meinrad Seminary in Indiana.
