Fr. Mathieu Isaac, Administrator

I am Father Mathieu Isaac. I was born in Haiti and I studied in Europe (France) and in The
United States of America for my priestly education. I speak four languages enabling me to
communicate with those who speak only English, French, Spanish or Creole. I am 45 years old,
and come from a large family. I am the 8th of nine brothers and sisters. My parents were very
well rooted in faith and deeply committed to the Catholic Church. I was ordained as a priest for the Archdiocese of Hartford by the Most Reverend Archbishop Henry J. Mansell at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral in Hartford in 2012. I have been working and serving in different places
throughout the Archdiocese of Hartford including, as Chaplain in Mac Dougall - Walker facilities in Suffield, and as Parochial Vicar at Saint Teresa of Calcutta parish in Manchester. My recent assignment was as Temporary Administrator at Saint Junipero Serra parish in South
Windsor. On August the 10, 2020, His Excellency, The Most Reverend Archbishop Blair appointed me as your New Administrator effective September 1st.
