Reception to honor retiring priest

BANGOR — A reception to celebrate the retirement of the Rev. Roland P. Nadeau will be held Saturday, Feb. 20, in the hall at St. John Church, 207 York St.

The reception will begin after the 4 p.m. Mass., which will be celebrated by the Nadeau himself. In January, Fr. Nadeau announced that he would retire from active ministry on Feb. 16, his 80th birthday.

Born in Lewiston, Nadeau attended grammar school at St. Peter & St. Paul before graduating from St. Dominic Regional High School. Nadeau served as parochial vicar at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish and St. Patrick Parish in Lewiston from June of 2000 to July of 2003.

After his retirement, the Rev. Nadeau will spend time with family and friends, including his three grandchildren, all of whom he baptized. He still plans on serving the parish when called upon.
