Welcome, Matthew Gworeck!

I know you'll join me in welcoming Matthew Gworeck, a first year theologian for the Archdiocese of Hartford, who will be with us for the Christmas liturgies. Matthew has completed his two-year Pre-Theology Courses—the study of classical philosophy—and has now begun his four-year studies of Theology in Washington, D.C. at the Theological College, a national Roman Catholic Seminary for priestly formation affiliated with Catholic University. Matthew and his family reside in Southington and he is studying along with 40-plus other seminarians for the Archdiocese of Hartford.

While Matthew’s stay is only for a few days, I look forward to working with him and "stealing" some of his ideas and enthusiasm that I might be able to use in my priestly ministry. I know you will offer Matthew a warm welcome and keep him in your prayers as he progresses toward Ordination to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ.
