Monsignor Greig was ordained on May 28, 1976, for the Diocese of Lafayette, with his first assignment as Associate Pastor (1976-1980) at St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church in Lake Charles and later as Administrator for a short time in 1986.

He also served three years in Rome, Italy (1988-1991) for the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

“I have been blessed these past 50 years to be a priest in, first, the Diocese of Lafayette, and later in the newly formed Diocese of Lake Charles,” said Monsignor Greig. “Many cherished memories come to mind. I have been privileged to celebrate the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, with many of you.
