Dominican priest, Fr. Elton Letang, has been appointed Parish Priest at St. Theresa’s Parish, Malick, Barataria in Trinidad.
This is the first major assignment for Fr. Letang, who was ordained a priest three years ago.
A letter from Most Reverend Joseph E. Harris, Archbishop of Port of Spain said the assignment took effect on June 1, 2016.
“As you continue your ministry in the Archdiocese, please be assured of my prayerful support,” the Archbishop wrote.
About a year ago, Fr. Letang was named superior of the community of the Redemptorists, the order of priests he belongs to, in Trinidad.
From the community of Giraudel, he was ordained a priest on June 3, 2013.
Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago fr Letang …may God richly bless you in your new assignment giving you the strength and wisdom to bring the people of God to his heavenly home
All our young local priests go to Trinidad; boosting up Trinidad while we are going down…….sigh. Who’s next, Fr. Shillingford?….sigh
Congratulations to you on your appointment. May God blessings be with you in everything you do.
Proud of you Sir Letang. You are a model fellow.
On that note what is being done about the other allegations made about the priests ? When it was Father Reggie they were quick to act . Now they are silent! Don’t worry we Dominicans that are 100 percsnt Dominicans are waiting and watching for something to be done. The whole Parish is fed up with that so called priest. It’s time to take off the robe. His behaviour is not one of a priest. Get him out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations ! Before I leave this venue I want to see an other Cardinal cling from DA
boom!…..congrats
Well Priest Elton, seem as if you are not going to return to your of Giraudel, for a long time now! Good wishes for your work in Trinidad; make sure that everything you do, is motivated by Love, through God\’s Holy Spirit.
Good things are in store for u God is going to use u mightily
My prayers are with you as you lead your parish, Father Letang.
The very first day when you mentioned to us that, you intend to become a priest, we replied and said congrats,now we can say well done to father Elton. I waited all this time to get married because I wanted you in my ceremony. The happiest days in my life because Father Letang is going to bless my wedding. God remain with you always with blessings too.
What is that image/idol on his clothing?
It is not an idol but a symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary carrying Jesus as a baby.
The baby Jesus wasn\’t white.
So who is the focus on in the symbol; Jesus or Ave’ Maria?

As you say it is not an idol your follow with it is symbol of the blessed Virgin Mary etcetera–symbol or not, it is still idol worshiping –something made of hands.
@CAPTCHA still? June 28, 2016
You are right; Jesus wasn\’t a white man because His mother was a Jew. The apostle said about Jesus: \”He came to His own and His own did not receive Him\” Jesus\’ own were the people Israel, who were Jews.
So then a Jew is a Jew and a white person is a white person–but this has nothing to do with the color of their skin.
@What a Shame –June 28, 2016
Either you are being sarcastic or you have never entered the Roman Catholic Church house–but whatever the case, your are right, that is an idol–part of the religious precepts of the Roman Catholic Church.
Congratulations Fr. Elton!! Wishing you God’s blessing and strength as you take up your new appointment.
