Father Lamar Partin

Fr. Lamar was raised in Baton Rouge, then his family moved to Walker, so he is familiar with South Louisiana and all the beauty it holds, mainly the beauty of its people; which he has come to appreciate more deeply after being away since he joined the Redemptorist.  He has been a Redemptorist for going on 27 years; 15 years as a Redemptorist Brother and 12 years as a Redemptorist Priest.
 
Throughout those years he has been assigned to Crowley, LA; Baton Rouge, LA; Grand Rapids, MI; Liguori, MO; San Antonio, TX and Tucson, AZ. Many years ministering as a Jr High Religion Teacher, Psych Nurse, Associate Pastor, Vocation Director and lastly a Pastor.

He came home to Louisiana a year ago to be with his family when my father was placed on Hospice. He has decided to stay in this area to stay close to family. He comes with experience, but says, "There is always more and more to learn and I am looking forward to learning along with you."
