| Archbishop Denis Grondin |
Denis Grondin is the Archbishop of Rimouski, Canada.
He wanted to be a medical doctor but God had other plans. Quite normal! In his youth, he joined the Neocatechumenal Way in Quebec and there he discerned that God is calling him to the priesthood. "I long resisted the call and took time to clearly identify what God wanted from me. God is faithful; when he calls us, he proposes a way of life. … For the Lord, our weaknesses, our voids are never a barrier.”
He was ordained a priest in May 1989 by Cardinal Louis-Albert Vachon. He served in various ministries and parishes until his election as Auxiliary Bishop of Quebec by Pope Benedict XVI in December 2011. He was appointed Archbishop of Rimouski by Pope Francis on May 4, 2015.
A couple from the Bishop’s community, Professor Yvan Pelletier and his wife are here on Guam to teach at the Blessed Diego Theological Institute. Professor Yvan was an associate Professor of Philosophy at the prestigious Laval University in Quebec for many years. Hafa Adai and welcome to Guam Professor Yvan Pelletier and family!
The Archdiocese of Rimouski has 114 parishes, 109 active diocesan priests, 13 religious priests,
and 147,000 Catholics. It also has 643 Women Religious, 53 Religious Brothers, and 9 permanent deacons.
