Rev. Jason Y. Jalbert appointed rector and pastor of Saint Joseph Cathedral

The Most Reverend Peter A. Libasci, Bishop of Manchester, formally of Berlin, announced the appointment of the Reverend Jason Y. Jalbert as rector and pastor of Saint Joseph Cathedral. In addition to his new pastoral assignment, Fr. Jalbert will continue to serve Bishop Libasci as his Priest Secretary and Master of Ceremonies, and will remain Director of the Office for Worship, Director of Vocations and Seminarian Formation and rector of Saint Patrick Mission, Hampton Beach. Fr. Jalbert will be formally installed at the Cathedral on Jan. 8, at the 10:30 a.m. Mass, and will reside at the Cathedral rectory.

“Father Jalbert has been a dedicated priest and an ardent and competent minister of the Gospel who has served the Diocese in many capacities,” said Bishop Libasci. “As Master of Ceremonies he has served the needs of all of the priests and parishes of the Diocese when they come together to worship in the Cathedral, so I know well that the talents he brings to his new parish assignment will enrich his own parishioners and all of those who visit the mother church of our diocese.”
