Marie Philomène Péan is a seasoned pastoral leader, spiritual director, and community builder whose ministry spans continents and cultures. Originally from Haiti, she brings a multilingual and multicultural lens to her work, speaking Haitian Creole, French, English, and conversational Spanish.

Philomène holds a Doctorate in Ministry from Andover Newton Theological School and is a Board-Certified Chaplain with the National Association of Catholic Chaplains. Her chaplaincy experience includes hospice, trauma, pediatric, behavioral health, and rehabilitation care across the Greater Boston area.

She currently serves as Pastoral Associate at the South Boston Seaport Catholic Collaborative and previously ministered at Immaculate Conception Parish in Everett, MA. In Haiti, she oversaw the full administration of a mission church, leading liturgy, catechesis, and the construction of vital infrastructure including a road, school, and church.

Philomène is also a trained spiritual director, having completed formation at the Center for Religious Development in Cambridge, MA and Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, WI. She has accompanied directees through retreats and days of recollection at Campion Center and Eastern Point.

Her ecumenical and interfaith experience includes volunteering with the Taizé community in France and “Le Nid” in Paris, where she ministered to women on the margins. She is committed to inclusive ministry and is open to accompanying members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Philomène is the founder of two nonprofit organizations—Monika Foundation and Piayiti (Haitian Well of Faith)—which support migrants in the U.S. and families in need in Haiti. She also provides online spiritual resources in Haitian Creole to nourish the faith of the global Haitian diaspora.

Above all, Philomène is a caregiver at heart, currently supporting her elderly mother while continuing to serve with humility, creativity, and deep pastoral wisdom.
