NEW ASSOCIATE PASTOR
A new Associate Pastor is being assigned to us effective May 15th. Fr. Pawel (Paul) Barwikowski (age 36), was born in Poland and was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Chicago by Cardinal Cupich in 2016 at Holy Name Cathedral. He has previously served at St. Constance Parish in Chicago and at St. James Parish in Arlington Heights.
He helped us out here at St. Edna last year, presiding at two funerals that both Fr. Darrio and Fr. Tomy were unavailable to preside at themselves.
He’s a kind, friendly and compassionate priest who we’re sure you will like, and we think you will also like his puppy -- our new Parish mascot!
We are very pleased and grateful that the Cardinal has assigned Fr. Paul to serve St. Edna Parish for the next several years.
We will have a Welcome Reception for him on Sunday, May 19th in the Doherty Center after all three morning Masses.
