Rev. Donald Clinton

Pastor pastor@olfic.org

Father Clinton, our current pastor, was installed on November 13, 2021. Previously he served as pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Epping NH for eight years.

Born in Roslindale, Mass., he initially attended St. John College Seminary in Brighton, Mass., and then worked for the Kendall-Colgate Palmolive Company for 10 years. He re-entered his studies at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary, Emmetsburg, Md. Upon graduation in 1990 he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Manchester.

Fr. Clinton’s first assignment was to St. Joseph Parish in Salem. He has served at Immaculate Conception in Nashua and Sacred Heart parishes in Greenville and Wilton. In 1999 he became pastor of St. John in Concord and later was pastor of St. Bernard in Keene.

A hearing loss that started in high school progressed until he lost all hearing one ear.  In 2010 Father Don considered leaving active ministry, unable to cope with the stress and demands of serving his parishioners using one hearing aid. Cochlear implant surgery has restored 80-90 percent of his hearing and after taking some time off for recovery he returned to work, assisting in Hanover and Manchester.
