We are delighted to have Father Paul Zwolak celebrate the 11:15AM Choir Mass on Sunday, August 2, as part of our annual tradition of honoring St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests. We will also pray for all the seminarians of our diocese as they prepare to become future parish priests.
Ordained in June 2026, Father Paul is the newest priest in the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens. He is currently serving as parochial vicar at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Brooklyn.
A native of Middle Village, he is an alumnus of Our Lady of Hope Catholic Academy, Archbishop Molloy High School, St. John’s University, and St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers. The son of Polish immigrants, he discovered his vocation at a young age through a joyful faith and desire to help others grow closer to Christ.
Let’s all give Father Paul a warm welcome.
We also invite you to recite the day 7 prayer of the St. John Vianney Novena with Father Paul at the end of the 11:15AM Mass and then stay to receive the beautiful grace of a First Blessing from this newly ordained priest.
Our Novena to St. John Vianney concludes at the 12:05PM Mass on Tuesday, August 4, the feast day of St. John Vianney.
