Sacred Heart/St. Dominic Parish - Portland

Our newly ordained priests have received their first assignments and will begin their ministry on June 1!

Father Evans Yongyee has been appointed Parochial Vicar of St. John Paul II Parish in Scarborough, and Father Ezekiel Yisi has been appointed Parochial Vicar of St. Agnes Parish in Island Falls, St. Mary of the Visitation Parish in Houlton, and St. Benedict Parish in Benedicta.

As they embark on this new chapter of priestly ministry, may the Lord bless them abundantly, strengthen them in their vocation, and use them as instruments of His grace and mercy. Please keep Fathers Evans and Ezekiel in your prayers as they begin serving the people entrusted to their care.

Congratulations, Fathers, and may God bless you in your ministry!
