Our Parish Priest
Fr. Mahesh Rathinasamy, SAC
I belong to the religious congregation called the Pallottine Fathers. God has been very instrumental in my life and I received a calling when I was 16 years old. I was ordained in 1999.
During the initial years of my priestly life I worked at a couple of parishes in India and then for six years I worked at a Pallottine seminary as the prefect of students. Then I was asked go to France in 2007 and served at the Divine Mercy Shrine in Osny Paris, France. I arrived in Canada in 2009 and served three years at Holy Family parish in St. Albert. Since July 2012 I have served in rural Alberta at St. Mary's parish and Corpus Christi parish.
I am happy as a priest ‘to follow in the footsteps of Jesus’ and I had wonderful experiences working with the people at both of these parishes.
As a citizen of India and missionary priest I am open to any reality, any culture and any situation that is why I am coming to serve God at St. Peter parish, Vileneuve, and all the attached parishes in Calahoo, Mearns and Rivere-Qui-Barre.

Priest's Home Visits
Our parish priest would like to visit your home. You can invite him by phoning the parish office, email him directly, or speak to him before or after any of the Masses. During the visit to your home, Father can bless your house if it has not been blessed, or simply enjoy the company of your loved ones as he gets to know you and you get to know him.
