Fr. Louis Merosne Father Louis Merosne is a wannabe saintly priest and is at loss of words talking about priesthood. Father Louis was born in Haiti and moved to Boston in 1993. He studied French, Philosophy, and theology at Franciscan University and was ordained in 2011 and currently serves in Haiti in the Diocese of Anse-à-Veau and Miragoâne. He is also the director of the St. Pope John Paul II Center for the New Evangelization where he lives, and ministers in a missionary community made up of families, lay young adults, priests, and a religious sister. Preaching the good news of Jesus Christ, he says, is his duty and passion.
