Fr. Peter Krezalek

Fr. Peter Krezalek, LC was born and raised in Poland as the youngest of three sons. He studied Civil Engineering in Krakow and then moved to Chicago where he graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with BS in Computer Science and from DePaul University with an MBA. At the age of 33 he realized that Jesus' earthly mission was coming to an end at that same age, yet what was he doing for Christ? This realization followed by seven years of re-discovering Christ and eventually leaving the world to follow Him more closely in the religious life. Fr Peter entered the Novitiate of the Legionaries of Christ in Cheshire, CT, obtained BA in philosophy in Thornwood, NY and theology in Rome, Italy from Regina Apostolorum University and did one year of internship in a vocational work in Louisiana. He was ordained to diaconate in Indiana on Aug. 6, 2016 and his priestly ordination was in Rome, Italy on Dec. 10, 2016. Now he has been assigned to the Chicago community as the chaplain to the Regnum Christi men's and women's sections in Chicago and the Heartland locality (Des Moines, IA; Lincoln and Omaha, NE; Kansas City, MO; and St Louis, MO) www.rcheartland.org
