Pastor's Corner

22^nd June, 2025

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

My name is Fr. Andrew, and I am honored to begin my ministry among you here at St. Joseph.

I come from Poland, where I was born, raised, and completed my seminary studies. In 2008, I was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Bielsko-Żywiec. I spent the first four years of my priesthood serving in my home diocese. With the blessing of my bishop, I was then sent to minister to Polish immigrants in Great Britain, primarily in Cambridge.

After that enriching time with my fellow countrymen, I was introduced through priest friends to the Archdiocese of Miami. One year later, after meeting with Archbishop Thomas Wenski, I came to the United States in 2017 and was assigned as parochial vicar to St. Agnes Church in Key Biscayne, Florida. I had the blessing of serving there for nearly eight years. During my time at St. Agnes, I completed the process of incardination and became a priest of the Archdiocese of Miami. My ministry there involved both pastoral and administrative responsibilities: serving in various parish ministries, being active in the school community, and taking part in the construction of a new church. These experiences have helped me grow as a priest, and I carry with me the lessons I have learned, hoping by God’s grace to apply them in this new chapter of service.

On June 16, 2025, I was appointed by Archbishop Wenski to serve as parish administrator of St. Joseph. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and filled with joy and anticipation as we begin this journey together. I look forward to getting to know each of you, to praying and working alongside you, and to growing together in faith, hope, and love as we walk toward our merciful God.

With gratitude and prayer,

Fr. Andrew
Pastor
