First liturgy of Fr. Vavrak in Windsor

Father Martin Vavrak is a native of Kosice, Slovakia, who was ordained a priest in 2003 in the Cathedral of Kosice by His Grace, bishop Milan Sasik, CM of Mukacevo. Afterwards, he started his pastoral ministry in the eparchy of Mukacevo, mother of all our eparchies. Besides parish ministry helped also teaching at the seminary.

He was there well liked by the people, but after a three year tenure, he came to help our church in Canada.

After initial stay in Toronto, he was introduced by bishop Pazak to the parish family of Windsor, where he came together with his wife, and two sons.

Faithful together with the pastor, Fr. Igor Zdravecky welcomed our new laborer in the vineyard of Christ and wished him many happy and blessed years!
