The Promotion of Fr. Normand G. Varone to Monsignor on November 14, 2021 at OSV Church

Chaplain to His Holiness with the title of Monsignor – Father Normand Varone

Sunday, November 14, 2021 at Old St. Vincent’s Church

Normand G. Varone was born June 29, 1939, in Woonsocket, Rhode Island to the late Joseph J. and Blaise F. (Gaulin) Varone. His education and seminary training was at St. Philip Neri Latin School in Boston, St. Mary’s College in Hardin’s Creek, Kentucky, and Kenrick Seminary in St. Louis. He was ordained to the priesthood June 7, 1975, by Bernard Cardinal Law in Saint Patrick Church in Cumberland, Rode Island. Throughout his years of active ministry in the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Father Varone served the Diocese primarily in small, rural parishes in the southeast corner of the state. Father Varone retired from active ministry on July 1, 2009 and has continued to serve as a faithful substitute for his brother priests in Cape Girardeau and surrounding area. After 46 years of priestly service, Father Normand Varone becomes Monsignor Normand Varone. Congratulations! (see Image Gallery for more pictures and details)
