Rev. Vilaire Philius

Rev. Fr. Vilaire has been assigned our new Parochial Administrator effective August 1, 2020.

Father went directly to the Seminary from High School in 1994, at the Salesian House in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, for his pre-novitiate. He then came to the United States of America in 1997. From there he was in New Jersey with the Salesians. In 2004, he left the Salesians to start theology at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary with the Diocese of Orlando.

Father Vilaire loves to work with the youth and help to teach them with their faith. His greatest joy is to live his faith happily around the people of God and to serve them.
